I + think that in my case it gets executed at some point later on when execution + has long left Curl_resolv_timeout() or even the cURL library. + + The code that is jumped to with siglongjmp() simply sets the error message + to "name lookup timed out" and then returns with CURLRESOLV_ERROR. I guess + that instead of simply returning without cleaning up, the code should have a + goto that jumps to the spot right after the call to Curl_resolv(). + Kamil Dudka (22 Mar 2010) - Douglas Steinwand contributed a patch fixing insufficient initialization in Curl_clone_ssl_config() diff --git a/RELEASE-NOTES b/RELEASE-NOTES index 29ad85bde..072ad7e6b 100644 --- a/RELEASE-NOTES +++ b/RELEASE-NOTES @@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ This release includes the following bugfixes: o TFTP improved error codes o TFTP fixed TSIZE handling for uploads o SSL possible double free when reusing curl handle + o alarm()-based DNS timeout bug This release includes the following known bugs: @@ -46,6 +47,6 @@ advice from friends like these: Steven M.
