   I have a question about using the curl_multi interface with a
shared memory pool as mentioned above. Is curl_multi internally
multithreaded? In other words, does it spawn a thread for each
transfer? I expect that it does, but could not find confirmation by
searching online. It is relevant to this use-case because it will mean
that the memory pool I use will have to be thread safe if curl_multi
is internally multithreaded.

Thanks,
