Please don't top post.

The following code works fine for me, without crashing, using libcurl
7.17.0 and MS DevStudio 2003, so I can't explain why yours crashes. More
details on the libcurl version and build tools you are using would be
helpful.

CURL *session = curl_easy_init( );
CURLcode cStatus;
FILE * fp = fopen("foobar.txt", "wb");
cStatus = curl_easy_setopt(session, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, fp);
cStatus = curl_easy_setopt(session, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, NULL);
cStatus = curl_easy_setopt(session, CURLOPT_URL, "http://cool.haxx.se/"
);
cStatus = curl_easy_perform(session);
curl_easy_cleanup(session);
fclose(fp);
