Err, typo, should be 3.7.0, the latest development release.  
Fixed.

Yes, these are also seen with LibreSSL 3.7.0 I've tested.  But 
these looks like library internal errors to me.

Given

SSL_do_handshake() failed (SSL: error:14FFF3E7:SSL routines:(UNKNOWN)SSL_internal:unknown failure occurred) while SSL handshaking

also observed with LibreSSL 3.7.0, I tend to think that error 
handling in LibreSSL needs some work.
