Actually, that is a different beast.

libcurl includes its own async DNS routine on Windows, you have to jump through 
some extra hoops to use c-ares.  I only vaguely remember attempting to use 
c-ares during one release cycle.  I don't remember why we reverted back.

There have been many changes to and many versions of c-ares since then, but of 
course that is no guarantee the issues we experienced have been fixed.  We've 
been using c-ares on the Mac all along without problems.
