OpenSSL 3.0.0 seems to invoke the password callback multiple times under some circumstances. This triggers a fatal error in Python when the first invocation sets an exception.

test_load_cert_chain (test.test_ssl.ContextTests) ... Fatal Python error: _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault: a function returned a result with an exception set
Python runtime state: initialized
ValueError: password cannot be longer than 1023 bytes
