Using OpenSSL cryptographic functions in a multi-threaded application

[Edward Diener]

We are using only the OpenSSL cryptographic functionality, the EVP and 
HMAC functions, in a multi-threaded application. Do we need to do 
anything to ensure thread safety ? The documentation mentions 
CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() and CRYPTO_set_id_callback() but we are 
not calling these functions nor have we put critical sections in our own 
code before calling the cryptographic functions. We are experiencing 
some crashes and attempting to track them down and thought our use of 
OpenSSL may be faulty.
