I've seen that valgrind warning too, and I made my valgrind ignore that
particular one as it isn't a problem in libcurl.

Argh. But if you have this much control, can't you figure out where in the
(libcurl) code it crashes?

It sure makes things trickier of course. Have you tried using a 7.10.8
pre-release just to see if the problem remains in there? We have fixed one or
two bugs in the multi interface since 7.10.7, but I'm not sure if any of them
could cause the kind of problem you desrcibe.

Yes please, if you can provide more info on the crash, like exact source line
and possibly contents of the relevant local variables, then I could do a
little research on the problem from my end.
