A manual page for these functions was added to OpenSSL approx 2 weeks ago.
The contents will however not include much more than you already have
figured out yourself. The SSL_* class of functions allows you to override
the private/public key which has been set for the complete SSL_CTX.

I don't have experience with threads.
Did you call SSL_clear() after finishing the connection and before reusing
the SSL object?
