NSS team: Is PR_Init() thread-safe?
No, it is not thread-safe by definition, and must be called and completed
before any other call to NSPR functions are made in any other thread.
Typically, PR_Init is called in the primordial thread.
Thank you. I suspected this, but the docs page said nothing about it so I felt
I better ask.
John, is that possibly the key to your problem? curl_global_init() is
documented to be called first, it is documented not thread-safe and it calls
PR_Init()... If curl_global_init() isn't called, libcurl will call it by
itself on first use of another function but you're using threads so I would
guess you get a bad race then and thus anything can happen!
