Yes, the examples that are provided result in this issue as well. For
instance the example:

void *pull_one_url(void *url)
{
  CURL *curl;
  curl = curl_easy_init();
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
  curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl); // BOOM!
  return NULL;
}

// A picture is worth a 1000 words : )

System Properties:
    libcurl-7.9.8
    Windows XP
    Service Pack 1
    Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition

Library Properties that are being included:
   libcurl.lib winmm.lib pthreadVSE.lib //
http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
<http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/>

After Clicking Abort --> Debug --> It wants the file DBGHEAP.C

So, are all the source examples crashing too then? This is the way to use
libcurl, and if curl_easy_cleanup() would crash this easily I would expect a
few more people than you would have come shouting here. I believe your
problem is trickier than this.

What libcurl version is this?

Right, but leaks memory.

That's indeed the correct thing to do.

Something bugs! ;-)

Can please provide us with an as tiny program as possible that still repeats
this problem? Just the bare essentials.

Also, it always help if you can tell us what operating system you're using
and possibly which compiler and other facts you think might be interesting
here.
