Interesting, no. It only happens when I specify authentication details
(either inline in the ftp url or via the '-u' parameter).

Yes, every time I specify authentication details, it crashes.

Broken:
Curl release 7.14.0 on Fedora Core 4 (glibc 2.8.5-10.3)
-- Dumps with: *** glibc detected *** curl: corrupted double-linked
list: 0x098fe228 ***
Curl release 7.13.1 on Debian (3.1) (glibc 2.4.7-1)
-- Dumps with: free(): invalid pointer 0x4001a000!

Working:
Curl release 7.10.6 on RHEL 3 (glibc 2.3.2-95.6)
Curl release 7.13.0 on HPUX 11i (11.11)

HPUX does not use glibc, but it's running an older version of curl. I
don't particularly know if the Debian curl binary uses glibc because it
spits out a different error.
