I guess #1304004 is marked private as it relates to a security package.

Good news is that I found a workaround by downgrading to libcurl3-gnutls_7.35.0-1ubuntu1. So far Transmission is stable with it even under high load.
Bad news is that this particular version has a couple of nasty security bugs and that you have to be extremely careful if downgrading, as this library is shared with many other applications and that you may be exposed.

I will mark this bug as affecting libcurl3-gnutls and see what its maintainer thinks. My guess is that the security fixes recently applied somehow break Transmission.

Unfortunately still coredumping in the same place even after having tried swapping a few libs. Will have to wait for a maintainer to answer and help us here.

Thank You for this information!
My private workaround is, to take "Deluge" instead for torrent-files;
since transmission is working again.

Best regards
Wolfgang
