Comment (by yawning):

 This is crashing somewhere deep in OpenSSL, and the stack looks rather
 corrupted.  Based on the information you provided, I can't tell if it's an
 OpenSSL issue or a tor issue.  Since the changes I made to get 1.1.0 to
 work again (tests pass on Linux/amd64) weren't in this particular part of
 the code, I'd need to replicate the issue to really know more.

 If I were to try to debug this, I'd figure out what test was crashing and
 single step through the code to see exactly when the stack gets trashed,
 but I don't have time to set up a NetBSD VM to try to replicate the issue
 at the moment.
