Thank you Daniel.
We are going to change our platforms soon. I think we'll choose Solaris.
After the migration, i'll let you know if the problem still happens.

First, try upgrading to the latest and greatest. I don't think that'll fix
your problems, but then again, you never know for sure!

As has been said before: this is likely to be a problem with how threads
work
on your particular platform. Other platforms have also shown problems
similar
to this in the past, all with various forms of (non-working) thread
implementations.

libcurl is being used in multi-threaded programs by many people, which
leads
me to believe that it is fairly multi-thread safe. If you can repeat your
problems on one of the platforms known to be stable systems
multi-thread-wise
(Solaris, Linux and Windows all seem good), then I'll start considering
this
a real issue. Until then, I can't but to think that this is a peculiar
issue
with threads under HPUX 10. I'm sorry.
