Public bug reported:
Bug occurs when interacting with some but not all SSL-webservers, so it
seems to be triggered by the remote side, crashing a zabbix monitoring
system when connecting to a problematic Apache 2.4 server in my case.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

According to [1], calling the function with data=NULL seems forbidden. It
seems, that [2] is a similar report for curl. The upstream patch seems to be
announced in [3] as "gtls: fix NULL pointer dereference", date "Fixed in 7.37.0
- May 21 2014".
Also the packages in Unicorn should already include the patch but adding it on
Trusty (production) seems not a good idea due to change in package dependencies.
