I think this fix is exactly backward.  Why would SSL_write need to
return ERROR_WANT_WRITE?  It couldn't.  The correct fix is that
SSL_write might return ERROR_WANT_READ, for which reading would be
the right response.

BTW the real problem, both here and elsewhere in this file, is the
lack of a "default: elog-out" case in the switch statements.  This
code will simply break if any unexpected case occurs.
