Rebooted. Nothing. Downgraded OpenSSL and rebooted. Works. Tried upgrading OpenSSL on another machine - killed the network. Downgraded OpenSSL and restarted network connection - works.

Cheers.

Fixed with openssl-1.0.2.c-1 I would say.

Cheers.

I can confirm that the issue existed with openssl 1.0.2.b-1 on i686 and is fixed in openssl 1.0.2.c-1. (x86_64 appears to be unaffected.)

Thanks for the report and sorry for the slight breakage.
