Dear OpenSSL users, When performing stress-testing of stunnel with session cache disabled I receive core dumps on concurrent SSL_connect() calls.
Here is an example stack backtrace:

Serializing requests solves the problem, but is definitely not a solution for
real life applications. 8-)
Calling SSL_connect() and SSL_accept() from a critical section helps a little.
Instead of core dumps I get the following errors:
SSL_connect: 1408C095:
error:1408C095:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_FINISHED:digest check failed
The library is OpenSSL 0.9.8d configured with:
./Configure threads shared zlib debug-linux-elf
Can you help me find a solution or a better workaround?
TIA,
Mike
