Description: After updating curl to 7.21.1-1, mpdscribble doesn't work properly. When I run it, it makes the cpu usage 100% and the network traffic jumps to ~80KB/s for upload and ~20KB/s for download. Stays like that forever. pkill can't kill the process. kill -9 can, though. If I downgrade to 7.21.0-1, mpdscribble works ok again.
Using stock ARCH, tux or zen kernels.
Some can't reproduce this glitch. More on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=810742

Additional info:
* package version(s): curl 7.21.1-1, mpdscribble 0.19-1 (AUR)
This task depends upon

is there any other program that is broken with curl-7.21.1-1 ?

No of the ones I got installed. Only mpdscribble seems affected.

So perhaps it's a problem in mpdscribble.
Please report this on its page in AUR.
