[cl-plus-ssl-devel] Possible bug in test-https-server (2008-11-04)

Thanks, that looks right to me.

(We don't have a lock in that function.  Should we use bordeaux-threads
and make this function secure, or depend on user to do this only once
before starting threads?)

The Lisp BIO (or "unwrap strategy nil") is known to be problematic.
(Could be that it "happens to work" more reliabily on SBCL, but I don't
recall.)

Luckily, none of the libraries out there actually depend on it.
Perhaps we should comment these tests out.


Thanks for testing,
