Well, in this case, I think Debian would normally backport the fix to
the version available in stable. So it seems the best thing to do is
for Daniel Marschall to send in a bug report to Debian's bug tracking
system about this, referencing this thread (if it is actually a bug in
the version of libcurl that comes with etch.) I thought the
conclusion was that Daniel Marschall was using the API incorrectly,
though? Or was that unrelated to the crash?
