A quick initial check indicates that the problem is in ares_init.c, line 503:
  /* copy sortlist */
  if ((optmask & ARES_OPT_SORTLIST) && channel->nsort == -1)
    {
      channel->sortlist = malloc(options->nsort * sizeof(struct apattern));
      if (!channel->sortlist)

options->nsort == 0. This malloc calls curl_dmalloc() if libcurl is
built with --enable-debug, and there's an assert in there which fails
then. (The test doesn't fail without --enable-debug)
