Summary: Crash in Curl_nss_connect

Initial Comment:
Hello,

One of our users (user of Claws Mail's RSS plugin) gets crashes on https connections. Valgrind shows:

Is this known?

No, it isn't known.

The problem is quite clearly within NSS so I would point my finger at
"them". Fedora uses a patched NSS (and patched libcurl) so I would suggest
you start off reporting your problem to them.

If you can repeat this problem with up-to-date "stock" versions of NSS and
libcurl I'll be very interested in a source code that shows how to do it!

btw our code does call curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT).
