I'd already reached the conclusion that messing with openssl was a bad
idea. Unfortunately, Creality is unresponsive to pleas to fix their
software. A Googled source claimed the problem was fixed by installation of
an earlier version of openssl, but I'm glad I asked here before trying that!

I'm mostly a lurker here but always impressed with how patiently helpful
y'all are.

Thanks for being here!
