BTW, we are using the CRYPTO_set_id_callback and CRYPTO_set_locking_callback
APIs here and this looks to be consistent with other examples that I see. we have seen
2 crashes in this area and the test runs were not using SSL. are there any other cases
where Curl_disconnect segfaults when freeing memory?
