When attempting to use curl 7.4.2 with a config file containing a -v on the last line, I get an Unhandled Exception runtime error that contains this error: 0xC0000005:Access Violation.

I'm running curl like this:
> curl.exe -K config.txt http://testweb/

Here's my curl version string: curl 7.4.2 (win32) libcurl 7.4.2 (SSL 0.9.6)

config.txt contains:
------- file begins here ------
-s
-S
-B
-v
------- file ends here ------

When I allowed my C++ debugger to trap the access violation, I got a bunch of machine code; here's a small section surrounding the line that caused the error, which was 0040366B (mov):

  0040365F add esp,20h
  00403662 cmp byte ptr [ebp-1101h],0
  00403669 jne 00403694
  0040366B mov al,byte ptr [ebx]
  0040366D cmp al,2Dh
  0040366F je 00403690
  00403671 mov edx,dword ptr [ebp+0Ch]
  00403674 mov eax,dword ptr [edx+60h]
  00403677 test eax,eax
  00403679 je 00403687
  0040367B add esp,0FFFFFFF4h
  0040367E push eax
  0040367F call 004236F8

And here's the call stack:
  CURL! 0040366b()
  CURL! 0040313d()
  CURL! 00403bf3()
  CURL! 004011c1()
  CURL! 004011eb()
  KERNEL32! BaseProcessStart_at_4 + 64 bytes

Moving -v to the beginning of the file fixes the problem, so it's not fatal - but curl 7.4.1 didn't exhibit this behavior.
