Re: http git clone memory problem.

["Benjamin Sergeant" <bsergean@gmail.com>]

I found this patch on the net, which was probably integrated a while
ago, about curl, git and segfault ...
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0606/21489.html

"""
If a curl handle is configured with special options, they may reference
information that is freed after the request is complete which can cause
a segfault if the curl handle is reused for a different type of request.

This patch resets these options to a safe state when a transfer slot is
assigned to a new request.
"""

I'm looking for the right MALLOC_* glibc variable so that I can see
where it crash.
