Then allow me to guess that the problem is found in this description:

        Strings passed to libcurl as ¢char *¢ arguments, are copied by the
        library; thus the string storage associated to the pointer argument may
        be overwritten after curl_easy_setopt() returns. Exceptions to this
        rule are described in the option details below.

        NOTE: before 7.17.0 strings were not copied. Instead the user was
        forced keep them available until libcurl no longer needed them.
