Comment (by kevin8t8):
I'll be glad to (and probably should have) add an error message, but just
letting the NULL go by isn't likely to give you any information except
that data->ctx is NULL; the error already occurred and popped off the call
stack by the time we get a segfault.
Adding more debugging information is a bit involved, using BIO's and
ERR_print_errors. As you said no one has reported a crash here in the
history of mutt, but I'll add a debug method based on
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSL/Error_handling, using dprint instead
of returning the string.
