Summary: SIGSEGV while POSTing large data

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to send data to an upload service at www.plupload.com:
curl -O -d name=foo.jpg --data-binary @xaa -d chunk=0 -d chunks=10 http://www.plupload.com/upload.php
(Please note that this might be wrong format for the service, it isn't particularly well documented.)
If the file xaa has more than about 130k bytes, curl will crash with segmentation fault. See below gdb backtrace:

(gdb) run

This happens with both 7.22.0 and ubuntu natty's 7.21.3 on x86-64, at the same spot.
