SSL hangs on multiprocessor systems

           Summary: SSL hangs on multiprocessor systems
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: PC
               URL: https://localhost:8443/
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jeffrey.demmon@attws.com


Accessing any SSL page will completely hang Tomcat, if Tomcat is running on a 
host with more than one processor.  Problem happens on 4.1.18, also happens on 
4.1.12 (other versions not tested).

Test setup: Install SSL according to instructions for Java 1.3.x series VMs.  
Simply access any page via SSL, such as the home page.  On single processor 
systems, SSL works perfectly.  Using identical setup on multiprocessor systems 
causes Tomcat to hang for the calling page and all other pages, SSL or normal.  
Only recourse is to restart Tomcat.

The problem is 100% reproducable on various systems, including 2-cpu PCs, 4- 
and 8-cpu HP-UX boxes, etc.  Identical setup under single processor systems 
runs without problem.  On rare occasion, Tomcat will successfully serve one or 
two SSL pages before lockup.  But most of the time lockup is on the first 
request for an SSL page.
