I'm playing around with a reverse proxy app called Pound that requires threading support in OpenSSL, but apparently the version of OpenSSL in the source tree does not enable threading by default.
Is there a reason why I shouldn't enable threading in a stand alone version of OpenSSL? Is there a performance reason, vulnerability, or some other nasty side effect associated with threading support that I should be aware of? Obviously I don't want to introduce any problems by messing with this. Matt
