What about:

"If you're using a version of libcurl installed by a package manager (or Windows), it is possible that libcurl is multi-threaded. Therefore, the custom allocator functions should be thread-safe to ensure correctness.

On the other hand, if you're using a custom-built libcurl without the threaded resolver, then the functions need not be thread-safe."
