Hi,

as the subject says, curl-7.3 dumps core when i use the --interface option.
As a quick fix, i removed line 1325 in file url.c:

    free(hostdataptr); /* allocated by GetHost() */

GetHost() somewehre calls gethostbyname() and returns the pointer
it gets from there. The manpage for gethostbyname() says:

    BUGS
        All information is contained in a static area [...]

So the call to free() is obsolete, i think.

Bye,
Georg
