The OpenSSL part is not relevant. However, the following paragraph is
relevant:

"When using multiple threads you should set the CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL
option to 1 for all handles. Everything will or might work fine except
that timeouts are not honored during the DNS lookup - which you can
work around by building libcurl with c-ares support. c-ares is a
library that provides asynchronous name resolves. On some platforms,
libcurl simply will not function properly multi-threaded unless this
option is set."

You did actually edit your forum post to add CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, so I
guess you got that part. Good.

Try an attachment next time. I did get your code from the forum post
at http://www.c-plusplus.de/forum/viewtopic-var-p-is-1660082.html#1660082
  , but that also required me to copy/paste and do some search/replace
to remove garbage characters. An attachment would've been much more
useful.

Anyway, your recently updated code is crashing for a very simple
reason: you're trying to print an unterminated buffer. Works for me if
I change 'printf(buffer)' to 'fwrite(buffer, chunk.size, 1, stdout)'
