bug#27329: Emacs 25.2.1 M-x list-packages crashes on https://melpa (SSL problem ?)

[Pierre Albarède]

Hello,

with
GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS appkit-1265.21 Version 10.9.5
(Build 13F1911))
 of 2017-04-21
downloaded from from https://emacsformacosx.com/about

launch Emacs, for example, in shell :

% /Applications/Emacs-25.2.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

In Emacs, evaluate this :

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/";))


M-x list-packages

Emacs crashes.

The problem did not exist in Emacs 25.1 and disappears when https is replaced by
http.
