I'm trying OpenSSL 1.1.1a on FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 and got the following
crash in one of my test programs (I compiled OpenSSL with -g after the
first time this happened to get at least some debug info):

#0  __je_huge_salloc (tsdn=<value optimized out>, ptr=<value optimized out>) at extent.h:114

Since my program doesn't use pthreads, I compiled OpenSSL with no-threads
and the crash doesn't happen (surprise...).
Is this a bug in my application or in OpenSSL? I'm not sure how to debug
this any further (without going into the details of pthreads on that OS).
