(I also just replied to the bug report in this subject.)

Is the 'post' and 'last' pointers really set to NULL before you use
curl_formparse() the first time? If they're not, this might very well be an
explanation to why junk ends up in the list.

If that is not the problem, I suggest that you compile lib/formdata.c with
_FORM_DEBUG defined and have a go at fixing a test that passes the exact same
set of form data as you do in your program. Then you can run that test
program and see what kind of output you get. If it looks ok, the problem is
in your code, if it still looks weirdo, then libcurl is to blame and I'd
appriciate you telling me exactly how to repeat it!
