Hi,

My system: Debian Linux 32bit x86. Linux kernel 3.0.0, libc 2.13-21.

I have valgrind-3.6.1 and the Debian packaged version of libidn 1.22 (1.22-3)
and I also tried 1.22 built from source. AFAIK, 1.22 is the most recent
version.

When I now invoke curl to use a IDN domain valgrind reports an error within
libidn:

$ valgrind curl -x localhost:80 http://www.%e5%e4%f6.se/page/165

The curl code using libidn has not been changed for years and it has not been
getting this report in the past. I've not tried to bisect as to when the
problem started to appear.

(This test failure can be seen with test 165 in the curl test suite.)

My valgrind output with debug versions of curl, libcurl and libidn looks like:
