 As I reported here:
 kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt?
 https://github.com/minipli/linux-
 unofficial_grsec/issues/20#issuecomment-350208705
 (find the OpenSSL no-match headers tor log lines near bottom)
 but it's also about crashes I've had earlier/later, same issues page, but
 numbers #13, #17, #18, #19, and #21,
 all my crashes vanished once I disabled tor.
 Can you pls look up those crashes and confirm if the reason is as I
 suspect (from same log, just earlier, that line repeated for weeks :) ...
 ouch!):

 Dec 07 04:25:47.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.9.12 (git-2b1e823d7bc05a37) opening
 new log file.
 Dec 07 04:25:47.859 [warn] OpenSSL version from headers does not match the
 version we're running with. If you get weird crashes, that might be why.
 (Compiled with 1010006f: OpenSSL 1.1.0f  25 May 2017; running with
 1010007f: OpenSSL 1.1.0g  2 Nov 2017).
 Dec 07 04:25:47.885 [notice] Tor 0.2.9.12 (git-2b1e823d7bc05a37) running
 on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.0g and Zlib 1.2.8.

 I know this is about package maintainance, but if I got the right cause
 here, can you pls. direct us where to look for explanation, more
 information how this come about. Thank you!
