[Python-modules-team] Bug#701713: PyCurl segfault while cleaning up CurlMulti object

[Jim Paris]

Package: python-pycurl
Version: 7.19.0-6
Severity: normal

$ python2.7 -c 'import pycurl; x = pycurl.CurlMulti()'
Segmentation fault

GDB points to multi.c:1776:
  multi->closure_handle->dns.hostcache = multi->hostcache;

I guess multi->closure_handle is NULL.
