Description:
------------
The OpenSSL extension in PHP leaks memory. Using valgrind, I was able to determine that there is a consistent leak of about 20K. There are two leaks, one is the result of calling SSL_get_ex_new_index() during MINIT which doesn't supply any mechanism for free_func (according to the prototype). The other leak, which accounts for about 19K, is from loading error strings but not calling the relevant free() function.

Another problem was noticed in network.c. There is a call to SSL_CTX_new(), but no corresponding SSL_CTX_free() when the socket is closed. Because the pointer for ctx is localized, the original pointer is lost - using SSL_get_SSL_CTX() allows you to retrieve the context and free it properly before call SSL_free() during socket close.

I've included a patch which corrects two of the issues:

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

readfile("https://secure.townnews.com/");

?>

Expected result:
----------------
No memory leaks.

Actual result:

You didn't provide a snap of the latest 4.4.x branch - which is where the bug was reported. I'm not using version 5.
