What if we our self provide synchronization between two threads for all the
CURL code starting from curl_global_init(ALL) to curl_global_cleanup(). Will
that be ok or as per the documentation, we should call curl_global_init only
once.
Then I think you'll be fairly safe against races, but I think you may still
risk memory leaks etc (frankly I can't remember off the top of my head if this
is still true). Those functions are node designed to be called multiple times.
