The API does not prevent concurrent operators.  The guidance from the
CMVP is that an application (even if operated by a webserver on behalf
of someone else) is an operator for purposes of determining compliance
with that restriction.

Of course, the CMVP seems to want to reduce the functionality of
systems that use validated crypto to zero, as well, so I dunno where
the balance lies.  Neither does Steve M, and he's pretty much
openssl's most visible diplomat to the Priesthood of the CMVP.
