Yeah, that's the scenario you consider. Nevertheless the handler does not
seem to be installed in this case. If the mentioned patch triggers the issue
with unhandled signal (as replacement for the SIGSEGV issue), there may be
something wrong.

At least for me, the code of Curl_resolv_timeout() is really hard to read
(the preprocessor games, etc.) - that's why I asked for the curl_config.h,
so that I can carve out the code not being compiled.
