I forgot to include the link in my last reply for [1]. In particular, version mismatches could be causing problems with software that leverages libssl. The basic gist from that GitHub issue in [1] is that “upgrading software versions fixed the problem I was seeing”, so my gut feeling is that it might be a problem with a jail’s userspace binaries being out of sync with the corresponding ports software versions.
