I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
  TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
  with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
  re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
  that this change fixes the reported problem.

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows
  we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload
  speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends
  confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.

  Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a
  pipe.

  This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the
  CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
  that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
  libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
  of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read
  from a stream!

and CURL_CONFIGURE_CURL_SOCKLEN_T to ease future maintainance.

  Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi
  interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!

Previous workaround proved useful, and finally did not trigger any warning!

as things don't work right here!

Previous workaround proved useful, but triggered the following warning:

warning #556: a value of type "volatile Curl_addrinfo *" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "Curl_addrinfo *"

  Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
  environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
  lower case takes precedence,

The #pragma optimize("", off) attempt did not fix the problem and SIGSEGV's in Curl_freeaddrinfo() were back.

Previous 'volatile' variables workaround proved useful, but it triggered the following warning:

warning #167: argument of type "volatile Curl_addrinfo *" is incompatible with parameter of type "void *"
