>Summary: check_http: segfault when following multiple redirects

Initial Comment:
check_http crashes when following multiple http redirects.

As an example, this crashes for me consistently

check_http -v -H en-us.add-ons.mozilla.com -f follow -u /en-US/firefox/2.0.0.4pre/extensions

I am pasting the backtrace from it below.  This happens for both the CVS version and the 1.4.8 release.
