I don't think that upgrade changed anything that actually caused the problem. 
But it is possible that the libssl upgrade triggered a restart of apache2 that 
somehow lead to the problem.

The default mutex implementation has been changed in stretch (since 2.4.20-1) 
so this hopefully does not happen there anymore.

But this is not something that I want to backport to jessie in a stable point 
release. Unless this affects a lot of people. So, people who encounter this 
may want to add a note to this bug report.

Cheers,
