It's #defined to curl_docalloc in memdebug.h, and curl_docalloc calls the
real malloc through the function pointer Curl_cmalloc. But that valgrind
trace implies that it's the call to curl_multi_init that goes bad. Which
is odd, because it's a plain call into a libcurl export, and not even
the first one. A compiler bug sounds more and more likely; how's your
x86 assembly language? :^)
