curl 7.7.2 was released in April 2001. It is so old, I don't think there are
many people alive who even remembers it! ;-)

Seriously, there are numerous bugs in that release, most of them fixed and
corrected during the years that have followed its release.

Those register dumps and stack traces aren't very useful to work with. If you
*really* want to see what is crashing this, then rebuild curl with full debug
symbols and rerun the crashing command using gdb (or run it post-mortem on
the core dump).

If I were you, I'd slip in a question in that bug report to the Apple guys
asking when they're gonna update the curl installation...

Good luck!
