Sorry for misundestanding.
SSL_accept() calls RAND_bytes() and RAND_pseudo_bytes()
(with calls RAND_bytes() with ignorance of not seeded PRNG).
If PRNG is not seeded RAND_bytes() tries to self seed
using RAND_pool() - RAND_add() do not use select().
For me seems that if you properly initialize PRNG
(before creating threads) this may resolve problem.
I think something like:
RAND_load_file("/dev/urandom", 1024);
should be enough.
