I've seen something similar in my inbox:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336840
and it was caused by Curl_client_write writing into the string const
"Accept-ranges: bytes\r\n":
http://cool.haxx.se/cvs.cgi/curl/lib/ftp.c.diff?r1=1.427&r2=1.428
I'd say the check added by the Ubuntu patch probably triggers when the
crash would otherwise occur, but relation of these two events isn't very
clear ;).
