If none of the devs are reporting this problem, maybe that's because they all have some different version of a system file which us lowly users don't have?

I just downloaded the Windows Generic version 7.13 from the link on the site, and I can confirm it still does this to me.

Using version 7.11, this works:
curl -k http://www.netscape.com

With version 7.13, the same command gives the error I described earlier.
I also get the same error when I type this...

curl -k http://no.such.address

or even this...

curl -k blahblahblah

I don't think this problem has anything to do with the actual SSL negotiation, because it happens even with bogus URLs, and curl doesn't get as far as resolving the hostname. I tried this command while running TDIMon, and curl 7.13 doesn't even get as far as opening a port before the crash occurs.
