I have problems with a C ++ program. Basically, I wrote a simple wrapper for http requests, with the ability to make multiple requests at once. Works fine, but when I make httpS requests, it accidentally crashes in multithreaded mode. I use curls and posiki. Backtrace is as follows:

Could this be a bug in libcrypto? Can I somehow say curl so as not to use libcrypto? Any alternatives? It only tolerates wenn using httpS requests and works fine even with 10,000 concurrent HTTP requests.
Cheers, Thomas
