I think it's not a problem with Pgpool-II 3.6.5.

Looks like PostgreSQL was suffered by the OpenSSL 1.1 backward
compatibility breaking:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1805.1467041061%40sss.pgh.pa.us#1805.1467041061@sss.pgh.pa.us

Probably Pgpool-II needs to pick up some of what PostgreSQL committed
for the problem. I'm not an expert of OpenSSL so it will take
sometime...
