So what pointer is invalid here?

How does ZoneAlarm influence with libcurl? Can you provide a
small program that demonstrates the problem?

The changes to hostthre.c done by Traian Nicolescu should have
made sure the gethostbyname_thread and getaddrinfo_thread ends
gracefully by this code;

  /* is the thread initiator still waiting for us ? */
  if (WaitForSingleObject(mutex_waiting, 0) == WAIT_TIMEOUT) {
    /* yes, it is */

Looks like some race condition... Then again I don't see how calling
Curl_close() will end up calling destroy_thread_data(). Will it?

PS. I don't have ZA myself, so I cannot help much with that.
