[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

The problem is that the Mozilla apps are dlopen'ing libcups, which then
initializes the SSL library. They then dlclose libcups after the print
dialog goes away which leaves the OpenSSL threading stuff pointing at
functions that are no longer in the process address space.

One of two things needs to happen - Firefox/Thunderbird need to stop using
dlopen/dlclose (or at least dlclose) for libcups, or OpenSSL and GNU TLS
need to actually support threading out of the box and not depend on the
application or library to provide threading support.
