Description:

A bug in curl 7.29.0 can lead to a segfault when closing an unused multi handle. This has been fixed upstream already:
https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/da3fc1ee91de656a30f3a12de394bcba55119872

Repackaging with a patch could be nice, since a few applications can now crash w/ the new curl. I believe  FS#33779  is an example of this; using xmlrpc-c often leads to a crash as well, etc.
This task depends upon

Yeah I had my eye on this patch. Wasn't sure how easy it was to reproduce in the wild.

7.29.0-2 is in testing with this fix.

Thanks for the quick fix, Enlightenment was having a number of problems with this, too.
