No, I'm not sure whether it's an nginx bug.

openssl packages were updated; nginx package is at the same version.

Basically, it looks like an openssl call that previously succeeded (and
probably gave questionable responses) now has become a blocking call
that doesn't return until sufficient entropy is available to ensure a
reasonably secure random result.

Where before nginx completed in a timely manner, it appears to be now
blocking, and failing to start within the systemd timeout period,

If that's the case (which looks likely), then other services which
depend on openssl may time out as well. (tomcat with APR comes to mind
as one possibility.)
