#44 curl 7.5 segmentation violation

[Daniel Stenberg]

From: James Griffiths (email hidden)

I have seen a report of segfaults in 7.5 on the mailing list. I have found one command line which will

consistently fail with 7.5 on linux (untested on other platforms). The line is as follows :

/home/jamesg/curl-7.5/src/curl -s -w "|%{url_effective}|%{http_code}|" -o content.30239 'about:blank'

This command line is a minimal one to reproduce the problem as far as I can tell (e.g. changing the output filename to "123.out" will stop the segfault behaviour).

I hope the above is helpful. If I can help any further please let me know.
---------------

I could repeat this on Linux, not on solaris.
