[SOLVED] Help tracking down a nefarious SSL networking issue

I run up to date Arch on a Lenovo T470s Thinkpad and several times a day I'll notice Chrome (and Firefox) stalling "establishing TLS connection". The only log droppings I've found and there are A LOT of them are lines like this:

Aug 16 15:32:20 loopy google-chrome-beta.desktop[20139]: [20139:20155:0816/153220.812272:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(1050)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -100
Aug 16 15:32:22 loopy google-chrome-beta.desktop[20139]: [20139:20155:0816/153222.296923:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(1050)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -100
Aug 16 21:18:32 loopy google-chrome-beta.desktop[20139]: [20139:20155:0816/211832.961361:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(1050)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -101
Aug 16 21:18:32 loopy google-chrome-beta.desktop[20139]: [20139:20155:0816/211832.962165:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(1050)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -101
Aug 16 21:18:32 loopy google-chrome-beta.desktop[20139]: [20139:20155:0816/211832.966937:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(1050)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -101
Aug 16 21:18:32 loopy google-chrome-beta.desktop[20139]: [20139:20155:0816/211832.969909:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(1050)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -101

There are more "net_error -101" than "net_error -100". I'm not sure what either is exactly. Sometimes it persists and actually makes the entire network unusable (and my wife grumpy). Other times it dumps a few lines in the log then goes away.
Others using our network claim it never happens when I'm not at home using my laptop and I've never experienced a slowdown when using other devices.

My home network is a 3 puck Google WiFi mesh that was rock solid until this machine joined the party.

Can anyone offer insights on those particular errors or give advice on how to track down what might be going on?

Thanks much

Update - Marking as solved. The openssl upgrade seems to have fixed whatever was going on.

Update: Received an updated to openssl v1.1.0.i-1 and haven't seen the problem since. Continuing to monitor but fingers crossed.
