I read that part, but IMHO it doesn't say what happens if a multithreaded
application uses the non-threadsafe version of OpenSSL. It just says
that OpenSSL is threadsafe on most platforms by default. mod_ssl
imposes no restrictions on OpenSSL being compiled threadsafe
(e.g. by checking the OPENSSL_THREADS macro in opensslconf.h).

I'm aware, that the event worker can't be used with SSL. I guess it's
because the SSL_CTX can't be shared among threads with the current
OpenSSL implementation?
