I "solved" it -- in ~/.altera.quartus there is a quartus2.reg file. Open it with a text editor and search for "Check_for_License_Updates". There may be multiple occurances, as each version of Quartus has its own set of entries in the file and if you've upgraded a few times, you will have entries for each version.

Anyway the setting must be turned off. The default is to enable license update checking.

Change this line:

General\Check_for_License_Updates=Yes

To this:

General\Check_for_License_Updates=No

This is only a stopgap measure until Altera or a member of the community can figure out what exactly is causing libssl to explode. I have already submitted an SR.
