I found this behavior while building a client-server system
that uses cURL to get data from the server; when my
server-side script didn't return anything at all, it caused
the client side Apache process to actually die with a signal
11. I have the latest libcurl and the latest PHP, and I've
just tried updating Apache to see if that affects the
behavior (it doesn't, but it seemed like a good excuse to
get my development system up to date).

The only option I'm using for cURL is CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER.

I'm not sure if this means anything, but if I run cURL from
the command line, it doesn't segfault when visiting the same
totally empty URL.

Thanks for PHP! It's good, fast, AND cheap

One more thing - I'm using https protocol for the transfer.

Oops - that's wrong; the OpenSSL option is installed in
libcurl, but this particular segfault happened using plain
old http.

I've experienced the same problem.
Additionally info: it works fine with PHP 4.0.6.

Same problem here.
But: same code on another machine works just fine. Only differences:
working one:curl --version
curl 7.9.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.9.2 (OpenSSL 0.9.6a)
not-working one: curl --version
curl 7.9.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.9.3 (OpenSSL 0.9.5)

This is fixed in 4.1.2 (I believe) or CVS most definitely...
