gdb backtrace

Description of problem:

Currently I am trying to fix julia build failure on rawhide/f36:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/julia
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=83111742

and during %build, julia process segfaults.
git bisect shows that https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/2b3dd01b779e4eff623a735792a915cde914b74a is the first bad commit.

For now I am going to provide gdb backtrace.

The problem here is that some julia sources are written not in C, and
(probably) julia is reading such "text" sources and calling curl related
functions using libffi, and currently I am unable to write minimal
source code to reproduce the issue I see...


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
julia 1.7.2
curl 7.80 ok, 7.81 not okay
Comment 1 Kamil Dudka 2022-02-22 08:44:48 UTC 
Thank you for bisecting it!  Based on the commit message, it sounds like julia is surprised by a transfer being killed unexpectedly in the new version of libcurl.  This does not look like an obvious bug in libcurl at first glance.
Comment 2 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2022-02-22 09:40:22 UTC 
Thanks, that's very interesting. Apparently this has also been spotted upstream: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/43703. We could try backporting that patch, or maybe even upgrading to Julia 1.8.0-beta which should be released in the coming days.

However, fixing CURL is not enough to get Julia to build on rawhide unfortunately. I had also observed that building Julia with USE_SYSTEM_CURL=0 and providing the sources fixes the build failure, but then I hit issues mentioned at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044284#c4.
