libcurl with custom malloc and SSL

        Hi,

        I am trying out libcurl 7.64.0 (right now stuck with that version
        for political reasons) with custom malloc implementation and SSL.

        This was the result:

        [Thread 0x7fffd3fff700 (LWP 147) exited]
        *** Error in `/...': free(): invalid pointer:
        0x00007ffff7eb8200 ***

        Thread 1 "..." received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
        0x00007ffff4b3e420 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
        (gdb) backtrace
        #0 0x00007ffff4b3e420 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
        #1 0x00007ffff4b3fa01 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6
        #2 0x00007ffff4b81877 in __libc_message () from
        /lib64/libc.so.6
        #3 0x00007ffff4b88093 in malloc_printerr () from
        /lib64/libc.so.6
        #4 0x00007ffff4b89999 in _int_free () from /lib64/libc.so.6
        #5 0x00007ffff69481be in OPENSSL_sk_free () from
        /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1
        #6 0x00007ffff65094fe in SSL_CTX_free () from
        /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1
        #7 0x00007ffff59f0448 in ?? () from /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4
        ...
        #13 0x00007ffff59c42a3 in curl_multi_perform () from
        /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4
        #14 0x00007ffff59bad1b in curl_easy_perform () from
        /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4

        The only interesting bit in the stack trace is that the pointer
        which gets passed to libc free(void*) is one that has been
        allocated with the private malloc libcurl has been set up with.

        Now, I could not quickly find any existing open or closed bug
        that would describe this but would this already be fixed in the
        later versions?
