libcurl 7.21.1 assertion in transfer.c:read_rewind(struct connectdata *conn, size_t thismuch)

From: Ron Parker <rparker_at_movik.net>

Hello, all.

I am seeing an assertion which appears to be a case where a chunked response is processed and a rewind is attempted, but a master_buffer has not been allocated.
Has anyone else observed this behavior?

Thanks.

And some select members of the connectdata structure...

(gdb) p ((struct connectdata *)0x14088f58)->read_pos

$4 = 0x0

$5 = 0
