The easiest way to do that is for you to write a new and stand-alone libcurl-using app (I'd prefer it being in plain standard C) that repeats your application's behavior and then hopefully(!) also repeats the bug.

For what it's worth, I now have a test case which appears to repeat my crash, or something very similar.

It's a plain C app, but it requires GCD (libdispatch).

For me, it crashes reliably with a single URL input of: ftp://ftptest:ftptest@10.0.1.32/crashtest/

The server 10.0.1.32 is running, and has a directory called crashtest which contains some subdirectories.

The test performs some post-quote commands on an ftp (or sftp) url. When the easy handle completes, the test resubmits another request for the same command, so in effect it's just doing the same thing again and again.

This is an attempt to reproduce the situation where I see the crash in my real code - which is just after one easy handle completing and another being adding to a multi, when both are performing post-quote commands on the same server.

The test sets quite a lot of options, and installs lots of callback functions. Again, this was an attempt to reproduce the setup in my real code. It is possible that the crash will reproduce without a lot of those settings, but I've not tested that yet.

The crash happens in a number of different places, but here's an example trace:

Code versions I'm using are: libcurl/7.30.0-DEV SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5 c-ares/1.9.0-DEV libssh2/1.4.3_DEV

I've also enclosed a much cleaner and simpler version of the test, which doesn't crash, but simply illustrates how to use libcurl with gcd and dispatch sources.
