Thank you! I can see how this is wrong, yes. Your fix seems to be fine.
However, Gustaf Hui has already started on a different patch that'll make the
curl_multi_info_read() function better free already-read messages, so that
they won't have to remain present for the entire multi handle life time, as
they are now.
I think that approach is sensible and it should also address your problems.
