Description:
------------
php_curl.dll is the cause of frequent crashes when using curl_multi_*() functions, especially curl*_close() and curl_multi_remove_handle(). However, even other functions sometimes cause a crash (I removed the above ones). The situation in the latest snapshots remains the same.

It looks like a poor thread synchronisation.

Apache 2.2.x used.

Reproduce code:
---------------
This should work fine: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-exec.php#48813
..but you may have to increase the number of links in $connomains, or change them to pictures.

Expected result:
----------------
The code doesn't crash the webserver.

Actual result:
--------------
The code often crashes the webserver (not always).

I already tried, crashing..

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

This is the call stack generated in VC8 using debug symbols for VC6, so the info is incomplete. However, I was able to decipher from asm that it crashes when reading the pointer curl_llist_element *e, the second argument of Curl_llist_insert_next(), hence the error:
Unhandled exception at 0x013d0c78 (php_curl.dll) in httpd.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000008.

.. this looks like a thread created in php_curl.

I suggest to implement debug tracing like this one: http://www.codeproject.com/debug/extendedtrace.asp
This would greatly improve the feedback from users, because there would be no need for installing Visual Studio or compiling the source. Only 2 things are needed: pdb files and dbghelp.dll (a text file is generated).

Well, the backtrace is obviously invalid and doesn't add any helpful information..

Sure. If you can do it - please, do.
Unfortunately I don't use windows, so I've no clue what's this all about..

Are you able to reproduce it with Apache1 ?
Did you try with PHP CLI ?
