+Subject: [PATCH] OPENSSL_config(): restore error agnosticism
+
+Great effort has been made to make initialization more configurable.
+However, the behavior of OPENSSL_config() was lost in the process,
+having it suddenly generate errors it didn't previously, which is not
+how it's documented to behave.
+
+A simple setting of default flags fixes this problem.
+
+Fixes #8528
