So when the problem occurs, it occurs for all 9 at once? Thus all connections
for that thread seem to be broken?

Do you have any curl-related logging enabled that shows what curl does or
doesn't do when it fails?

Do you need 200 threads to make it fail or does it happen with less as well?

How many sockets/connections can you handle in a single process (all threads
taken together)?
