axel version: 2.17.13 openssl version: 1.0.1e

I guess some function in libcrypto is not thread-safe.

The problem solved after i updated OpenSSL to libressl-3.9.1. I found a relative post:

For earlier versions than 1.1.0, it is necessary for your application to set up the thread callback functions. To do this, your application must call CRYPTO_set_locking_callback(3) and one of the CRYPTO_THREADID_set... API's. See the OpenSSL threads manpage for details and "note on multi-threading" in the INSTALL file in the source distribution.
