Hello Michal,

Indeed, I'm using

/configure --build="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" \
         --prefix=${STUNNEL_DIR} \
         --mandir="${STUNNEL_DIR}/man" \
         --docdir="${STUNNEL_DIR}/doc" \
         --enable-ipv6   \
         --disable-libwrap \
         --disable-fips \
         --with-threads=fork \
         --with-ssl=${OPENSSL_DIR} \
         --enable-shared \
         --disable-static

As far as concerns the threading model, several linux distributions use 
the fork model. Also

seems to conclude the same way. Actually, I'am not really sure about the 
best threading model under RH Linux. Maybe, can you give some advices.
