Interestingly, it's now apparent that all three of those critters are
failing identically. I begin to suspect that it's somehow
Windows-specific; if it were a bug in a particular OpenSSL version,
seems like Heikki's testing described above would have reproduced it.

The only other Windows machines in the buildfarm that are building
with openssl are Andrew's bowerbird and frogmouth; they're both passing.
I wonder what openssl version is on those.
