I changed the program so that it calls curl_global_init once at the
beginning. However, when I call the getip() function the second time it
crashes when it reaches curl_easy_perform(curl_handle);

Also, I use curl twice in this program. I use it once to query a webpage
and store the data it returns in a variable. I use it again to take that
variable along with some other user-provided info and post it to a form.
