What libcurl version on which operating system? And how can we go ahead to
repeat the problem with the latest libcurl?

Right, and as the reporter unfortunately vanished and I never managed to
repeat the problem I can't tell if the problem ever existed (ie perhaps all we
say was a user error), if it existed and has been fixed or if there exists an
actual bug left in the code.

The splay code has not changed much the last five years.
