The function curl_slist_free_all is crashing when it tries to free
memory. I first suspected that this is due to conflicting runtime
libraries. However I verified that both libcurl and my program are
compiled using MDd (Mutithreaded Debug dll). What else could cause
this problem?

The code that I used is:

        char *header;
        CURL *curl;
        CURLcode res;
        struct curl_slist* headers=NULL;
        string data = "xyz";
        struct WriteThis pooh;
        pooh.readptr = data.c_str();
        pooh.sizeleft = strlen(data.c_str());

        curl = curl_easy_init();
        char errorBuffer[CURL_ERROR_SIZE];

if(curl) {
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, newhost.c_str());
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0L);
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, &errorBuffer);
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, get_connection_msg);
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, NULL);

                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, process_connection_header);
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER, &header);

                headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: text/xml");
                /* pass our list of custom made headers */
                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);

                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1L);

                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);

                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, &pooh);

                curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, (curl_off_t)pooh.sizeleft);

                // curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);

                res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

                .......................................

                curl_slist_free_all(headers);
                curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

and it crashes at curl_slist_free_all(headers). Below is the error
message and call stack.
