I just got a confirmation from the openssl-users list that OpenSSL doesn't
invoke the callback from any threads not created by user, i.e. the non-Lisp
thread theory is not valid.

If you have any hints on how to determine the crash reason - it is very appreciated.

BTW, I tried with CLISP - it doesn't crash. I've run the CFFI tests with CLISP,
the result is similar to CCL, but the number of failures is a bit smaller.

If you are interested, the test log is attached.

Best regards,
