I can't understand why this would make a difference, and since you claim it
does, it indicates a problem somewhere that needs attention rather than a
work-around.

The curl_formfree() call is meant to free only the linked list of form-data
that is created with curl_formadd() or curl_formparse(). It shouldn't matter
in which order you free that information, in regard to when
curl_easy_cleanup() is called.

Are you capable of digging up more details on where exactly it causes the
exception?
