mutex deadlock in pyOpenSSL under PyPy

pyOpenSSL 0.12 doesn't even build on PyPy, so I wonder how this could happen. Running the attached example using pyOpenSSL trunk tip using Twisted 10.0.0, the connection never gets set up, but there is no deadlock. Ctrl-C will interrupt the client and the server, and the client times out on its own after a while. Using Twisted trunk@HEAD, the connection is set up and the transfer succeeds.

Hi,
But we successfully built it with pypy-1.5:
---------
[svpcom@localhost pyOpenSSL-0.12]$ ./env/bin/python
Python 2.7.1 (?, May 25 2011, 11:05:43)
[PyPy 1.5.0-alpha0 with GCC 4.5.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
And now for something completely different: ``A language is a dialect with
an
army and navy''
>>>>
---------
See build.log in attachment
"env" directory has been created by virtualenv

About twisted: We use trunk with additional fixes (some are related to
pypy)
Sources are on git://github.com/smira/twisted.git (pypy branch)

Please test with pyOpenSSL trunk at tip instead. There were many bug fixes required to get pyOpenSSL even close to working on PyPy, many involving random memory corruption which will lead to unpredicable, difficult to reproduce behavior.

We're seeing this issue (or something closely related to it) running the following:

PyPy 1.7
Twisted 11.1
PyOpenSSL 0.13 / trunk (bug occurs in both)
