evhtp_use_threads() is a connection pooler, each thread having its own
event_base, and each connection being accepted to that threads evbase.

in this case here, you are double threading, thus you break out of evhtp
and back into thread safety in libevent itself.

Libevent needs to be setup as thread-safe too if it is to be used this
way via one of the evthread_use_* functions.
