| Doc Text: |
the software updater (pup) did not parse OpenSSL error messages
correctly. Therefore, when it encountered an invalid or missing SSL
certificate, the updater would crash. The parsing code is now corrected,
so invalid or missing SSL certificate will not result in a crash.

Dump of Crash after attempting to run Software Updater
It looks like an OpenSSL exception is being thrown, but we aren't parsing it
correctly.
If you would apply the below change and include the new output it would aid us
in understanding what the problem is.
