yes, it crashes in Curl_resolv at below point.
It is coming here from siglongjmp() in SIGALARM signal handler.
But I do not know why it is getting SIGBUS or sometimes SIGSEGV here.
(line number 390 hostip.c)
detected a multithreaded program
t_at_1 (l_at_1) terminated by signal BUS (invalid address alignment)
Current function is Curl_resolv
  390 failf(data, "name lookup timed out");

I will try setting CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL to true. I hope this will solve my
problem.
