I'm sorry to confuse you.
From the point of an OpenSSL user's view, SSL object will be useful rather than SSL_CTX. Though crash will occur by this change, fixing the crash will be a worth doing.

From point of compatibility view, this change should not be taken. To return SSL handle, a new member should be defined.
