Public bug reported:

The BIO_should_retry manual page contains this text:

    BIO_should_write() is true if the cause of the condition is that a
BIO needs to read data.

Many of the OpenSSL APIs are confusing enough that I could believe this
is really true, but the manual page also says:

    BIO_should_read() is true if the cause of the condition is that a
BIO needs to read data.

I doubt that both BIO_should_read and BIO_should_write mean the BIO
needs to read data.  Probably BIO_should_write means the BIO needs to
write data.
