------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 boost::asio::ssl::detail::openssl_stream_service::create may pass a
 null pointer to SSL_set_mode when SSL_new indicates failure by
 returning a null pointer. This leads to segmentation faults on the
 platforms I tested.

 Similar issues may hold for
 boost::asio::ssl::detail::openssl_context_service::create, but I
 could not yet reproduce this.
