This is a follow-up to an earlier question about deleting files.
I have been having a hard time transferring files in libcurl. I have
found that adding a file to a form and transmitting it is causing all of
my problems and I'm not sure why.

I am iterating through every file in a directory, curling the file via
formadd() and then deleting the file. I can delete all the files just
fine (if I don't curl), or I can curl just fine (if I don't delete) but
not both.

Here is the code I'm using is pasted at the end of the email. The line
that is commented out is the one giving me problems. I tried using
curl_formfree() as well but that gave me segfault right away. With the
curl_formadd(...CURLFORM_FILE....) I get sporadic results which end in a
segfault after having read a couple of files.

I'm on linux using fedora core 2 on gcc 3.3.3.

does anyone know why the file upload is giving problems when I try to
delete?
