What happened that took libcurl to this state? What is curl doing when this
happens?

curl_timediff_us() itself does not get stuck and in the follow up email you
indicated that it might be related to the splay tree management.

We fixed a splay related issue recently, so maybe the latest version works
better for you.

I doubt it is actually related to the time.
