[Matthew Marshall]

After upgrading to curl-5.15.4, bzflag will segfault
with the following backtrace:

Let me know if there is any more information I could
give that would be helpful.

You could try Jari Sundell's patch to see if it fixes the
problems you experience:

Thanks for verifying, that patch is now committed to CVS and
will be part of the next curl release.

Closing this report now.
