 I'm purifying testnet to track the source of the core dump. First remark:

 There is an uninitialized memory read at the following location:

            HtHTTP::ReadChunkedBody() [HtHTTP.cc:933]
                     _connection.read_line(ChunkHeader);
               
                     // Append the chunk-data to the contents of the response
            =>       _response._contents << buffer;
                                 
                     length+=chunk_size;
               
 you should save the return of read and use
_response._contents.append(buffer, read_count). Buffer is not null 
terminated. This is a source of big problems.
