You might be interested to see curl 7.42.1-2 entered unstable today. It immediately started core dumping for me. But see also Bug#787638 where the affect was widespread and reportedly in libcurl3-gnutls. I know that wget and httping were segfaulting for me too. An upgrade later in the day pulled in more upgrades and solved the problem for me. http://bugs.debian.org/342719 Date: Sun, 03 May 2015 13:13:15 +0200 Distribution: unstable * Switch curl binary to libcurl3-gnutls (Closes: #342719) This is the first step of a possible migration to a GnuTLS-only libcurl for Debian. Let's see how it goes. If you have opinions you might want to make your comments known. Bob
