This really is too few details to work with. curl_multi_perform() is the entry point to a lot of code so without better pinpointing to exactly what failed this is next to impossible for me to guess.

Note also that we've done a few more releases from the curl project since 7.18.2 so you may suffer from an already fixed bug.
