Checking for the following link on my local machine breaks drupal badly. No errors logged anywhere. The response is aborted and on browser (firefox) I get "The connection was reset".

The link is:
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:KWTwMwW_xAkJ:ec.europa.eu/social/BlobServlet%3FdocId%3D3992%26langId%3Den+european+commission+ad+hoc+group+on+de+institutionalisation&hl=en&gl=uk&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgp4XzOF_mgrcrejZWGVPce0Wo4uAaxWFREfbERsQfKYvO65hWNB7pQ7VG9Jb1bTj60g_JGL-SjSkk2_lXnX_4NdlCtRRLgbMTJ4zmyvP8AdTutIToiuv0FGgpc7RZf2gXo9VI5&sig=AHIEtbRoO4jpkYsC2rQ4p_vEY1z0OvjK_A

Steps:
- create a new node (of any type)
- set title
- set body (in source mode):
<a href="http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&amp;q=cache:KWTwMwW_xAkJ:ec.europa.eu/social/BlobServlet%3FdocId%3D3992%26langId%3Den+european+commission+ad+hoc+group+on+de+institutionalisation&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=uk&amp;pid=bl&amp;srcid=ADGEESgp4XzOF_mgrcrejZWGVPce0Wo4uAaxWFREfbERsQfKYvO65hWNB7pQ7VG9Jb1bTj60g_JGL-SjSkk2_lXnX_4NdlCtRRLgbMTJ4zmyvP8AdTutIToiuv0FGgpc7RZf2gXo9VI5&amp;sig=AHIEtbRoO4jpkYsC2rQ4p_vEY1z0OvjK_A">test crash</a>
- set published
- Save

I use:
- Apache/2.2.11 (Win32)
- PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2010 20:03:25)

On a linux installation I have the above bug is not happening.

Are you using Drupal core or HTTPRL lib for checking? wget returns a 302 Moved Temporarily to me.

I guess your host has a problem (e.g. firewall). Try to fetch the URL with wget on your server and see what happens. It's also possible that you are affected by a PHP or XAMPP bug. See #5 in #1891080: AJAX error when linkchecker calls valid_url with overly long and complex URL (PHP >= 5.4).
