[Python-modules-team] Bug#690187: PyCurl segfault while invoking reset() function multiple times

[Emmanuel Bouthenot]

Package: python-pycurl
Version: 7.19.0-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

PyCurl segfault while invoking reset() function multiple times. Here is
an example on how to reproduce the crash:

$ printf "import pycurl\nc = pycurl.Curl()\nfor i in xrange(100000):\n\tc.reset()\n" | python

This bug has been fixed upstream for ages[1][2].

Attached is a patch which includes the upstream fix reworked to apply
cleanly on the Debian sources.
