[erlang-questions] Can't call ssl:transport_accept/ssl:accept from multiple processes

[Ingela Andin]

Hi !

It sounds like it might be a socket ownership problem.
The best would be to have the socket in active false mode
and  then transfering socket ownership (ssl:controlling_process/2) to
the new process
before it gets to do ssl_accept.
