Crashes FreeRadius 3.0.11 using rlm_rest/libcurl + rlm_cache_rbtree

[Alan Buxey]

first step is to try 3.0.14 as the bug/issue may have already been
fixed in the past year.   if it STILL exhibits issues, you need to
read the bugs
document , follow the steps in that to get relevant GDB callbacks etc.
