No more frames?

The call to Curl_resolv() is obviously using completely broken parameters, so
whoever is using that like this is causing this problem.

Your fix may correct Curl_failf() to stop crashing, but it'll only move the
problem elsewhere. The reason for the problem would be found in frame #2 that
your stack trace above didn't show, for some reason.

(Now, I'm off for skiing!)
