You might gain some insight by looking at the code, but I'll bet that
that decryption failed error is from SSL itself. You might have
better luck asking the OpenSSL folks. Or it might be easier to just
re-generate all your certs.

Might be worth reading through the release notes to see if anything
SSL related has changed between 8.0.3 and 8.1.5.
