IMHO, the sooner the problem is detected, the better. Even if this implies a brutal crash of the application. On Linux, the current CRYPTO_thread_id() behavior with multithreaded applications hides the fact that the application is *broken*. For example, MySQL with OpenSSL has been broken *for years*. The problem was much more harder to trigger on Linux, because of the default CRYPTO_thread_id() behavior. Platforms without the getpid() <-> pthread_self() bijection (Solaris, NetBSD >= 2, ...) happily crashed sooner, and more importantly: the problem gets fixed sooner, as well.
