Since submitting my original patch, I've realised there is a possible scenario that both my solution, and I think yours as well, still fails on: we're assuming that once the readsocket call has returned, there's nothing left in the socket buffer. Is this not dependent on the size of the data submitted by the remote program, the capacity of the socket buffer itself, and the space remaining in c->sock_buf after c->sock_ptr? I.e. there could still be data in the socket if the buffered data were longer than that returned by readsocket? Should stunnel not repoll/check the socket to ensure that POLLIN is not set before taking any action on POLLUP? Maybe s_poll_hup() should only be allowed to return POLLIN if POLLHUP is not set?

Compiled and installed on the Linux Mint server and looking fine so far using my test example. If nothing shows up in the next few hours of normal running it should be fine.
It's of lower priority, but I'd like to update the client machines as well when the release goes official. This may be better in a separate thread, or already exist in an FAQ I've not found, but as I have about 50 (currently, eventually >80) sites to update (mostly Windows 7, some XPSP3), is there a way for the Windows install to be run unattended? Failing that, is there a list, or way to generate a list, of updated binaries + reg/config entries so I can make myself an unattended install/upgrade? Most sites are currently on 5.01, but some are still on 4.56.

In the failure scenario though, the returned status was (POLLIN|POLLHUP).
Great work. I indeed forgot that the POLLHUP condition may be set while some buffered data is still available.
Could you try: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.05b1.tar.gz ?
