Hi! Soup developers,

We checked out libsoup HEAD today, and found a double-free problem that might caused by Joe Shaw's latest modification to libsoup/soup-context.c (connection_death). For a HTTP connection(keep_alive = 1), it seemed OK. The connection_death() is called with condition = G_IO_IN. For a HTTPS connection(keep_alive = 0), the connection_free() will be called twice which causes a crash. The first time is from connection_death() with a condition = 17. I guess it is a combination of G_IO_IN and G_IO_HUP. The connection is freed here. The second time is from soup_message_cleanup()-->soup_connection_release()-->connection_free(). The crash happened here.

   Please help to fix this problem. Thanks!
      Harry
