No, I can't recall having seen it before and I therefore don't think it is
fixed in 7.16.0 (although a memset size error was fixed in the win32 threaded
resolver) nor afterwards.

It would be interesting if you built a custom version of libcurl with the
"normal" resolver instead of the threaded one just to attempt to pinpoint
where the problem might be. That's the one major difference between windows
and other operating systems in the name resolving department that I can think
of right now.
