 It seems like random crashes may occur in RAND_bytes function. In my app I
 use libssh with 20 parallel threads, so RAND_bytes called quite agressive
 from diff threads. After I guard it with critical section - everything
 seems ok. I cannot really understand the RAND_bytes code, because it looks
 scary. Seems like it is not thread safe. Openssl version for me is 0.9.8zf
