+Subject: [PATCH] multi: handle pause in multi socket callback
+
+The mev_sh_entry object might be removed if curl_easy_pause() is called
+from within the socket callback.
+
+Introduced a 'magic' struct field to to 'mev_sh_entry' to make it easier
+to programmatically detect/assert if the pointer is bad - in debug
+builds.
+
+Reported-by: Joshua Rogers
+Closes #21748
+
+(cherry picked from commit 5ab34cba42e4ee4282fe8bab43f311d51b9bf9bd)
