[Live-devel] Problems with RTSPClient, CSeq variable and SANYO network cameras ...

This is a perfect illustration of why you are not supposed to run 
LIVE555 library code in multiple threads.  (Have you read the FAQ 
entry about threads?  If not, then why not (because you were asked to 
read the FAQ before you subscribed/posted to the mailing list)?)

Instead, you should be using a single event loop (in a single thread) 
- even to make multiple RTSP client requests.
