Description

After rebooting my Bip server today, I noticed it frequently fails on attempts to connect to Freenode via SSL/TLS, like this:

It's rather strange, because it suggests that `SSL_get_peer_certificate()` is failing, and I don't know why it would do that (and it doesn't seem very easy to debug. Man I hate openssl.) I can only think there must, somehow, be something wrong with the SSL context.

I don't think there is a server issue here, as HexChat seems to always work when I try it (with SSL). I do note that Hexchat seems to wait for `SSL_is_init_finished` to be true before doing `SSL_get_cert_info`...
