Hi,

  I found two core dumps generated in multi-thread scenarios in ESX part.

Case1: libcurl support multi-thread

core dump:

#12 0x00002aaabea89712 in addbyter () from /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4

#13 0x00002aaabea89b86 in dprintf_formatf () from /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4

#14 0x00002aaabea8b055 in curl_mvsnprintf () from /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4

#15 0x00002aaabea7678f in Curl_failf () from /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4

#16 0x00002aaabea6d871 in Curl_resolv_timeout () from /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4

#17 0x00000006e8a8f230 in ?? ()

Fix code:

esxVI_CURL_Connect() in esx_vi.c:

I add a new line as following:

curl_easy_setopt(curl->handle, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1);

Case2: libssl support multi-thread

core dump:

Possible Problem:

Two callback functions(locking_function and threadid_func) need to be set.

Would you help to give some comments about this two core dump?
