Well, as there is suggestion of what I would say, I would only say that
it's false positive.

Another alternative is that they recognize it as bug worthy fixing,
valgrind or OpenSSL. Even though I argue that it's valgrind bug, I'm
ready to assist in addressing the issue on OpenSSL side. In other words
try to report it to your favorite distro vendor. Refer to this ticket.
But for now, I'm dismissing the case.
