This looks very similar to a problem I had when upgrading to the first 
FreeBSD release using OpenSSL 3.x.

In that case the issues was that the cryptographically broken old RC4 
ciphersuite is no longer supported at all.

In Heimdal you could disable it in the configuration and so it wouldn't 
even probe for the removed cipher.
