There seem to be some more issues with the multi package.
In particular, it seems that there is a problem during a connection
attampt to a remote host (my guess is that the problem is related
to the asynchronous connect, rather than a connect that succeeds
immediately).

Compiling my example program against 7.10.3-pre5 returns no data
while it works correctly with 7.10.2. If I change the URL from
vivisimo.com (remote) to 127.0.0.1 (local), both version work correctly.
This is running on RedHat 7.2 (IPv4, I believe)..

Let me know if I can offer any more information.

Cheers,
Chris.
