... and it works when you're not doing it multi-threaded?

Yes, it works fine with non- multi-threaded programs.

The last time I touched an AIX box, it used AIX v3! ;-) (in nostalgic
moments, I show people the little pin I got while being an IBM employee,
saying "/aix/wizard" !)

I can only suggest that you first track down what exact function call(s)
that fails (using strace-style, debugger or printf-style debugging). Then
you check why it fails and if libcurl uses the proper threadsafe version
etc.

I should have included the details earlier... The exact funtion is connect
in connect.c The funny thing is connect returns -1 indicating it failed
but the errno is not set. I suppose this has something to do with threads
and I am stuck in how to proceed further with the debugging.

Thanks again,
Joseph
