A follow-up to the message I just sent.

I've managed to strip out quite a bit of extraneous stuff from the example I sent earlier.

This one is more compact, and still crashes.

Critical ingredients seem to be:

Using FTP.

Setting CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE.
Setting CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT
Setting CURLOPT_NOBODY
