[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] primitiveSSLCreate fails sporadically on Windows (#554)

Hi all,

I think this is not a new issue, but I am experiencing it with increasing frequency on my Win 10 machine: When instantiating SqueakSSL, primitiveCreate fails. I don't see an error in the console so I cannot tell more details about the error. Sometimes restarting my image helps, but right now, it does not. Other images running with the same VM (202010232046) can still access the internet via SSL.

Maybe it plays a role that the affected image puts the plugin much more under stress by always holding at least one open connection to a server.

Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds?

Looking forward to a fix, Christoph
