When running curl_race.exe in a long sequence here, I don't see any problem.
But in run_many.bat you start so many processes in parallel that you hit
this problem. Buffer/stack overflow, starved Winsock buffers, runtime
DLL limits etc. What happens if you experiment with other 'start' options?
E.g. 'start /BELOWNORMAL'? I agree with Daniel that this problem is outside
the scope of libcurl.

I'm not sure the MS C++ is as good as other C++ compilers. You seems to
be using VC++8 which is quite old. So you should try a recent GNU C++
(and maybe Watcom C++) to rule out libcurl from the equation.

PS. In the project-file I saw you did use '-D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS'.
  Why?
