Yes.

That depends on whether setting the cert_store element was done properly (in a 
way
that incremented the reference count) or not.  See the documentation of:

        SSL_CTX_set1_cert_store(3)
        SSL_CTX_set_cert_store(3)

the latter does not facilitate sharing the store across multiple SSL_CTX 
instances.
