The threads(3) manpage states that to use OpenSSL in multi-threaded applications then locking callback functions must be set otherwise random crashes may occur. This poses a challenge when using OpenSSL in a library which should be MT safe. There is no safe way to set the locking callbacks from within the library itself.
I should also point out that libraries are setting the callbacks already. libldap_r (openldap) for example. I haven't done an extensive survey of common opensource libraries but I'm sure openldap isn't alone out there.
