Thanks for the responses.

I had been using libcurl 7.15.1 in my own application, but I assumed it
was the same problem on the older version of curl.exe I had. After
upgrading to a later version it doesn't crash, but doesn't work with the
correct name either, but it does when using IP.

Heh, there's a mismatch between your belief and what curl -V outputs.

This clearly looks like you're seeing a bug in 7.12.0. Can you test it
again and make sure you're running 7.15.1 ?
