Hi git hackers,
I am the main libcurl author and maintainer.

While I agree that this is a regression and a bug in libcurl, it puzzles me why you found it in the first place. curl_global_init and curl_global_cleanup should only be needed to call once per program's lifetime. I can't think of any practical use to do this re-init at all. You will only waste time on this.

So, your best fix for this problem is to simply to a curl_global_init() in the beginning and a curl_global_cleanup() in the end.
