I didn't claim to have eliminated GCD. I said I'd eliminated GCD dispatch sources - which had been one of the things we were wondering about, because of the way they work.

This is true.

This is also true.

I'm afraid that I can't accept your attached source, as it's not in the correct patch format ;)

Only kidding.

However, your attached source had the following lines in it:

#if 0
    curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE, list);
#endif

Turning off the post quote stuff does indeed fix the crash.

Turning it back on again, however, causes it to crash, with your (non-gcd) version.

The backtrace is pretty consistent:

    frame #4: 0x00007fff902697e1 libdyld.dylib`start + 1

It seems to happen just after the third connection has been added.

I've attached my modified source.
