Only cause I can think of is if libcurl.dll and the application was
linked with different runtime libraries. E.g. libcurl.dll was compiled
with "cl /MD" and your application with "cl /MDd". Or mixed /ML and
/MD (but I don't think that will link). MSVC is very picky about such
things and a pain to debug.

This could cause stdout in the application and stdout in libcurl to
refer to different FILES. Since the WRITEFUNCTION refers to stdout
initially, using that option shouldn't make a difference at all.
Hence setting binary mode should be enough.

Why? A project using libcurl.dll shouldn't need to rebuild that
DLL. Just add the libcurl.lib import lib and put libcurl.dll in current
directory or on your PATH.
