Yep, libcurl 7.30.0 on OS X, built using the MacOSX-Framework script.

This is where it gets a bit tricky: GCD is outwardly queue-based, but
manages threads internally. I have little control over what it chooses
to do thread-wise, though I have told it to use a serial queue, so
everything should be getting executed in the proper order. Evidently,
something isn't working quite as I expected it to, though. I'm
continuing to poke around at that aspect of it.

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm still in the process of learning GCD, so
this has been patched together as I translated it from C to
Objective-C. I'm planning on re-writing this, but I need it working
prior to doing so. :)

That would essentially just be the crash-test program that I linked,
since I did the opposite to get it into this state. But, like I said
above, I'm not actually doing anything with threads, GCD is, so that
code *should* have roughly the same behavior. I'm currently trying to
get that program compiled and running to ensure that it does in fact
work, but given that it was written in March of this year, I can't see
there being any libcurl-version-related issues there.

Well, never after initially setting it to 1ms. I wasn't certain
whether it was supposed to attempt changing the timeout again later in
the process.
