I found a case where this happens which I think fixes your problem:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/connect.c.diff?r1=1.23&r2=1.24

Did you build it staticly? It makes things easier for debugging:

$ ./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug

$ ./src/curl [URL]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Then...

$ gdb src/curl core

(gdb) bt

Works every time here.
