If a thread has not used OpenSSL in any way then there is no need to
call OPENSSL_thread_stop().

Hi Matt and community members,

Should the application which is statically linked to OpenSSL 3.x, call OpenSSL_Thread_Stop() for a thread that uses only crypto functionality from OpenSSL but not ssl ?

Please excuse my ignorance. Could not make out the details in usage of TLS.
