Summary: curl crashes when a 301 redirect is received

Initial Comment:
if I give the cmd:

curl http://ftp.eidos.com/pub/videos/tomb_raider_5/tomb_raider_5.avi --max-redirs 5 --location --max-time 60 --connect-timeout 30 --location-trusted

it works but if i give
curl http://ftp.eidos.com/pub/videos/tomb_raider_5/tomb_raider_5.avi --max-redirs 5 --location --max-time 60 --connect-timeout 30

It crashes with the following stack trace

--prefix /usr will of course install the lib in /usr/lib. That's the
standard naming and prefixes used by configure scripts since decades. Use
--libdir if you want to alter that.

Interesting, but it doesn't answer the questions. Did you compile the
library in 64 bit mode? What application does this stack trace come from?
How is Python involved?

The version I used was curl 7.16.1 . when I install curl on a 64-bit
machine configuring --prefix /usr, it still gets installed in the lib
directory only .. So once the installation is over I did an ldconfig to get
all the libraries updated

There seem to be a mix of 64 bit and 32 bit libraries in the back trace.
Could the problem be related to that?

Using what curl version? It seems to "work" (as in not crash) for me.
OTOH, it complains on the server not being nice.
