OK. While I confirm that settinc CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL allows my program to run reliably it seems, I have seen that the configure script has the following option (which I am not currently using):

--enable-threaded-resolver

Will this "help" in my case? I am not using the c-ares resolver for now.

Under what circumstances a name resolution will lead to a timeout? An unresponsive/slow server? The nameserver is not configured correctly or there is no route?

bye and thank you for the insights!
