I went ahead and pushed the patches-under-discussion (the larger
one only to HEAD, for now). I've confirmed that the ssl tests
are solid now under OpenBSD 7.0, on bare metal as well as on the
VM I was using before. They are still broken under OpenBSD 6.8,
which seems interesting but not so interesting that I want to
spend more time on it (seeing that 6.8 is EOL as far as
openbsd.org is concerned). Does anyone want to recheck 6.9?
