Unfortunately this method causes a segmentation fault. I had no idea of how such a simple problem can be solved with libevent. I couldn't be able to find an example.

Hi, Steve!

It's not clear to me what you're actually trying to do.  You want to
have a bufferevent, try to do some operation on it, and if the
operation fails, retry later?  Right now, bufferevents don't support
retrying connections very well, but they should do okay if you first
setfd the fd to -1 before retrying the connection--or just make a new
bufferevent for each connection.

If you have a short example program you can post here, probably
somebody could help figuring out what's going on.  But without more
information, it's not easy to tell what the problem is.
