Summary: crash when dns slow

Initial Comment:
I have a strange setup with the dns taking a long time
to answer.
I run my app that make periodic http(s) requests.
Everything goes fine, but after a while (that is, after
maybe 10 successfull requests to the same host) I have
this crash:

#0 0xb7fade01 in Curl_connecthost (conn=0x8a73094,
remotehost=0x0,
    sockconn=0x8a7312c, addr=0xbfaefdc4,
connected=0xbfaefe07 "")
    at connect.c:789
#1 0xb7f9ed04 in ConnectPlease (conn=0x8a73094,
hostaddr=0x0,
    connected=0xbfaefe07 "") at url.c:2017
#2 0xb7fa19f3 in SetupConnection (conn=0x8a73094,
hostaddr=0x0,
    protocol_done=0xbfaefe88 "") at url.c:3670
#3 0xb7fa1b08 in Curl_connect (data=0x8ab48bc,
in_connect=0x8b02798,
    asyncp=0xbfaefe89 "", protocol_done=0xbfaefe88 "")
at url.c:3729
#4 0xb7faf002 in curl_multi_perform
(multi_handle=0x8aeac1c,
    running_handles=0xbfaeff34) at multi.c:422
[....]

(notice the hostaddr=0x0 part)

I'm using libcurl 7.15.1, with this configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/ --disable-gopher
--disable-ldap --disable-dict --disable-telnet
--enable-nonblocking --enable-debug
--disable-crypto-auth --enable-ares --disable-ipv6

I could further investigate, but I'd have to know which
way to look..
More precisely,
  code = CreateConnection(data, in_connect, &dns, asyncp);
returns:
    code == OK
    dns == null
    asyncp == false
Is the problem that 'code' shouldn't be 'ok', or that
the program shouldn't crash when dns == Null?

Ah, right. That's NULL if the connection is re-used. So it
looks like it enters the SetupConnection() function and then
some 30 lines into the function the condition

  if(CURL_SOCKET_BAD == conn->sock[FIRST])

equals true. And then it wrongly tries to re-connect using
the host address that is now NULL.

Can you figure out how it comes it has marked the socket as
being bad, while still believing the connection is being
re-used fine?

What does a CURLOPT_VERSBOSE output reveal? Does the
connection just prior to the failing one look fine and claim
to be leaving the connection alive? Does the failing one
claim to retry the connection or just re-use it normally
like other re-used connections?

looks like it's because, url.c::3530
  if(conn->bits.reuse) {
is true.

Right, can you see if you can figure out why
CreateConnection() returns CURLE_OK while still not
returning any address and setting asnyncp to FALSE?
