Michael, what Daniel is saying is that with your strcat() call, you've
effectively modified the value for $HOME for your process at least as
far as getenv() is concerned. You want something more like
asprintf(&settings.cookie, "%s/.gogdownloader/cookies.txt",
getenv("HOME"));
which will do a memory allocation for you (though you should check the
return value of asprintf for errors). See the getenv(3), strcat(3), and
asprintf(3) manpages for more details.
Marking this report as invalid, as the bug exists in the application,
not the curl library.
