Hi all,

Over at httpd we’re struggling with crashes and instability caused by attempts 
by various independent libraries we link to, all of which in turn link to 
openssl, initialising openssl multiple times. In turn these separate libraries 
might de-initialise openssl on shutdown expecting a re-initiailise to work and 
hilarity ensues.

What is the correct way to handle openssl initialisation when multiple 
independent libraries are all trying to initialise openssl independently of one 
another?

Is there reference counting of some kind?

Could instability be caused by not matching the correct teardown function calls 
with the correct setup function calls?

Regards,
Graham
