Upon further investigation, I'm not sure it matters.  I've been bouncing 
between axTLS versions 1.1.5 and 1.2.7.  In the latter, it appears that fcntl 
(and its equivalent on Windows) is used to set reads back to blocking mode in 
ssl_client_new().  You can check to see if SOCKET_BLOCK is defined in your 
version's ssl/os_port.h.  If so, the read operations are probably blocking.

While this might explain why you haven't seen any problems, it does seem to run 
counter to the spirit of the multi interface.
