First: it'd be great if you rebuilt your libcurl and kept the debug symbols so
that we could better see exactly where the crash happens, and you could even
run it with gdb and get a full stack trace of it.

Then: does it work if you don't change CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE ? You're modifying
libcurl by doing this and I'm afraid we cannot guarantee that this works. It
is not part of the ABI nor the API.

We provide CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE in the API that can be used to grow the receive
buffer up to 512KB, maybe consider using that instead?
