I build using following command:

cl test_curl.cpp libcurl.lib

where libcurl.lib is compiled in debug configuration as DLL.

You mean that when main thread enters Sleep, there is additional
thread (proces has two threads). I think, it is a problem (isn't it).
I called all _cleanup_ functions of libcurl, but there exist remaining
of libcurl - the second thread. All memory of libcurl is deallocated
at this moment, but thread can try to access it and ause access
violation or UB. In my case it is access violation.
