Daniel Stenberg b9d66dca51 - Dmitry Popov filed bug report #1911069
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1911069) that identified a race
  condition in the name resolver code when the DNS cache is shared between
  multiple easy handles, each running in simultaneous threads that could cause
  crashes.
