There should be no reason to do this. The BIO's will get freed
automatically by the SSL_free() call.

This looks like a bug in OpenSSL. It should be able to tolerate passing
NULL for wbio in the SSL_set_bio call, but apparently it can't in the
case of a failed handshake. Please could you open an issue on github for
this?

The workaround is to remove the SSL_set_bio(SSL, NULL, NULL) call. It
should not be necessary.
