Ruby-LDAP SSL problem

[kapil.surlaker]

I am using the Ruby LDAP extension module. The regular LDAP calls seem
to work fine but the SSLConn.new has problems on windows. I debugged
the C extension code and it seems the ldap_bind_s call fails and all
the threads (there seem to be quite a few) are stopped after that and
ruby just hangs.

I read some blurbs about ruby not being thread safe etc. Is there an
issue if an extension call results in spawning of multiple threads ?
Anyone experience similar problems ?

Thanks for all your help.
