Not sure. I have never looked at the curl code before until i needed
to debug this, so I have no idea about the correct place to put these
locks.

That would be nice.

Another thing I missed in the docs was whether you need these locks
when using a multi handle running in its own thread. From my
experimentation, it doesn't look like it's needed in that scenario,
since all access to the share object happens from the same thread.

"FLUSH" is used to sync the cookie state to disk (cookie file), so
when using a share object and no file, there's nowhere to sync to.
Perhaps you are thinking of "ALL", which is for erasing all known
cookies?
