Ouch. That seems to imply that the multi->connc->connects[] array has been
freed? That is done by lib/url.c:Curl_rm_connc() and should only by done on
curl_multi_cleanup() when the multi interface is used...

It would be really great! If you fail to repeat it like that an alternative
but harder (for us) approach would be if you could tell us an exact git
version and recipe on how to use it against a puplic repo to repeat the
problem.

Oh, and do try to build libcurl with "configure --enable-debug" and make sure
that git calls curl_memdebug("dump") before starting to use libcurl. It could
possibly provide some clues.
