Crash on OPENSSL_sk_pop_free()

[hudMin]

My program crashes on the function OPENSSL_sk_pop_free() with the message: juice poll (53): EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x8000000000000000). This always seems to happen before the connection to the other peer is completed. Also this only seems to happen in macOS.

This function is not used directly, and the library doesn't use the OpenSSL stack API directly either. Could you please post a stack trace?

What happens here is that an OpenSSL error triggers an exception in the DtlsTransport constructor, then OpenSSL crashes in the catch block when attempting to destroy the OpenSSL context, so you don't even see the error. Commenting out this line should allow you to see the error in the log.

Without more context, it looks like something is broken with the OpenSSL library. What version is it? How was it built? Do you link other libraries in your program?
