We're writing code against a version of libcurl 7.10.3 we built for
windows (couldn't get 7.10.4 to build). Our ftp upload code is
running into a memory exception in the fread function on the
_lock_str(stream) call. I'm not sure what we're doing wrong. I'm
sure we're just doing something dumb, but I haven't been able to
find. Here is a few code snippets (hopefully someone can spot it):

CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
FILE *fileToRead = NULL;
char curlErrBuffer[CURL_ERROR_SIZE] = {0};

/* get a curl handle */
curl = curl_easy_init();

if( !curl )
{
        ERROR_MESSAGE(_T("FTP Web-Upload Error"), _T("Could not
initialize cURL.") );
        return;
}

// setup the error buffer
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, curlErrBuffer) ;

/* enable uploading */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, TRUE) ;

// no signal in multi-threaded environment
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, TRUE) ;

/* specify target */
curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_URL, strURL);

/* login/password */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, strLoginPass);

int hd ;
struct stat file_info;

/* get the file size of the local file */
hd = _open(strCacheFile, _O_RDONLY) ;
fstat(hd, &file_info);

// open the file
fileToRead = _fdopen( hd, "r");

if( NULL != fileToRead )
{
        /* now specify which file to upload */
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, fileToRead);

        /* and give the size of the upload (optional) */
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, file_info.st_size);

        // perform the upload
        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
        if( 0 != res )
        {
                CAtlString strError;
                strError.Format( _T("Failed to complete upload of
%s.\r\nError message: \"%S\"\r\nError number: %d"),
lpFindFileData->cFileName, curlErrBuffer, res );
                ERROR_MESSAGE(_T("FTP Web-Upload Error"), strError );
        }

        fclose( fileToRead );
}

curl_easy_cleanup(curl);

Thanks for the help,
