Dear List,
I'm a newbie, so please bear with me. My program works as a DLL as
part of a larger scientific analysis program. This DLL provides URL
manipulation using Curl. The analysis program can be multithreaded,
so I want to use Curl to FTP upload several files at once, but in
threads controlled by the calling program.

However, my program seems to crash at random times, with the partial
stack trace listed below (I am using Intel OSX 10.5.3). The call from
THReasyHttp.cpp is to curl_easy_init().
I am aware that curl_global_init() is called by this function if
already hasn't been done. The manual indicates that this can lead to
random crashes if done in a multithreaded environment. This is why I
make a call to curl_global_init() when the DLL is first loaded.
However, I still get these problems.

Any ideas?

regards,
Andy
