Ok, but is it ok to stop calling curl_multi_perform for a moment and
resume
calling it later, without doing select() inbetween?

yet.

Ok, I guess this answers my question, but I wanted to make sure. I tried
this and it didn't seem to work, but I guess my test might have been
faulty.
Will try some more.

Thanks a lot for the help
