I didn't spot anything obviously out of the ordinary with the way those curl
options were set up. There's a bug while creating url though--strlen() is being
called on an uninitialized array. And there's an edge condition whereby url
could end up being non-NUL terminated. That could cause a heap overflow when
uri is populated, after which all bets are off.

If you still have the problem once fixing that, can you correlate the pointer
value you see printed in the callback with anything else? Could it be equal to
the stdout handle, for example? Can you try paring down the setopt calls even
further & see if it makes any difference?
