Hi,
                I met a curl_resolv_timeout crash in AIX7.1 when curl is running in multi-thread. Curl version is the latest, 7.45.0. The call stack is:

Segmentation fault in addbyter at 0x8000000004b3418 ($t3)
0x8000000004b3418 (addbyter+0x18) 98650000 stb r3,0x0(r5)

Curl_resolv_timeout(??, ??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x8000000004bdd58

And I have already set the CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL to 1L according to advice.
But in redhat linux, my program runs OK, the core dump only happens in AIX7.1.
And I also add the configure option --enable-threaded-resolver to compile curl, the core dump still happens.
Could someone give me some advice ?
Thanks a lot.

                I have some findings about the above problem.
                I found data->set.no_signal has been modified somewhere after init.
                In my program, I set CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL to 1, and set CURLOPT_TIMEOUT to 1200. And I add some printf in curl code url.c and hostip.c.
                Here in url.c:
                  case CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL:
    /*
     * The application asks not to set any signal() or alarm() handlers,
     * even when using a timeout.
     */
    data->set.no_signal = (0 != va_arg(param, long))?TRUE:FALSE;
    printf("Set data->set.no_signal = %d\n", data->set.no_signal); // added printf
break;

And in hostip.c, function Curl_resolv_timeout() :
#ifdef USE_ALARM_TIMEOUT
printf("Display data->set.no_signal = %d\n", data->set.no_signal); // added printf
  if(data->set.no_signal)
    /* Ignore the timeout when signals are disabled */
    timeout = 0;
  else
timeout = timeoutms;

In the screen outpu, I can see:
Set data->set.no_signal = 1
Display data->set.no_signal = 0

And also the timeoutms is not 1200000 anymore, it is the default value 300000.

It seems the 2 values have been reset to default value somewhere.
But I searched curl source code, cannot find anywhere the 2 values are reset.
Can someone help ?
Thanks.

B.R.
Fred
