That's MacOS then, right? Which libcurl version are you using?

I can't say that I recall this problem but when we switched over to doing only
multi internally (before... was it 7.28?) I did fix a number of problems with
the multi interface.

Those weird-looking lines combined with your words about threading makes me
scared. What are you doing multi-threaded?

I did quickly glance over the code you attached but it was very complicated to
follow.

Can you try to implement your logic in a plain (non-threaded) C program and
see if that works?

Never? For every handle you add it will set a 1 ms timeout so it certainly
should...

Perhaps, but I can't say. I know nothing about GCD and objective-C is mostly
confusing to me...
