Hello,

I get a crash sometimes when calling curl_easy_perform() from my
application. Not sure why it happens. Maybe it's a memory overwrite
from my application, because my download function works everytime from
my unit tests. But it fails in the real application. See here the
backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

libcurl 7.16.4

I search the problem for some hours without success. Any ideas why curl
crash at this point? This may help me to localize the problem in my
application.

The really interesting thing is that my application works on a second
Linux system with curl-7.17.1 installed. So maybe it's a curl problem?

regards
Andreas
