It actually explains everything.

1. Just the std. openssl EVP_*() funcs. are being used. (I was wondering who
    was using the obscure OPENSSL_LH_COMPFUNC(3) functions directly--it wasn't
    python3, I grepped the source.)

2. Note how the openssl path changes between frame #2 and frame #3 (and
    between #8 & #9 in the other backtrace). It started with an old openssl (bsd)
    and switched to the new one mid-stream. Ie. the apache2 crypto has not been
    inited anywhere, explaining why `lh->daaw' is NULL.

Yes, this is classic library interpositioning--ie. a local issue.

I would want to see Rhialto's:

```
ls -l /lib/crypto* /usr/lib/libcrypto*
```
