In the cgminer project \( https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer \) I am using libcurl version 7.28.1 compiled for mingw32 and using curl easy recv on the raw socket returned. Dropping internet connection on windows\* with this compiled version I get a reproducible crash on the following line:
sendf.c:353
failf\(conn->data, "Recv failure: %s", Curl\_strerror\(conn, err\)\);
Debugging is disabled in the build, but this line reliably crashes on mingw32. Commenting out the line entirely the crash goes away. This can be reproduced without dropping internet connection on windows by killing the tcp connection with currports. I don't know the exact mechanism of the crash without digging further but I suspect conn->data is dereferenced.
