Thanks for the information. I have changed my application to set
CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL to 1 and I have used --enable-threaded-resolver when
configuring on Mac OSX. Is there any documentation for
--enable-threaded-resolver? I am not sure how this is different from
using c-ares. My preference would be to not use c-ares if there's not
a strong reason to use it since that introduces another dependency in
my project, but maybe I really need it and don't know it?

Thanks
Adam
