... and it works when you're not doing it multi-threaded?

The last time I touched an AIX box, it used AIX v3! ;-) (in nostalgic moments,
I show people the little pin I got while being an IBM employee, saying
"/aix/wizard" !)

I can only suggest that you first track down what exact function call(s) that
fails (using strace-style, debugger or printf-style debugging). Then you check
why it fails and if libcurl uses the proper threadsafe version etc.
