Comment:

 Weird!  Since the only way to get a crash in write() is to give it a bad
 buffer or an overlong length... and since the arguments to BIO_write here
 are coming from toe BIO_CTRL_FLUSH case of buffer_ctrl in openssl's
 crypto/bio/bf_buff.c ... something has to be screwed up in the BIO
 internals.

 If the crash is always in the same place, I'd suspect some kind of use-
 after-free thing , or something else that could allow a BIO specifically
 to become corrupt.  It would help to debug this if you can have gdb dump
 out *in tor_tls_handshake) the values of *tls, *tls->ssl , and
 *tls->ssl->wbio.

 If the crash isn't always in the same place, I'd suspect a memory
 corruption issue.
