The alloca() problem has been an annoying problem for a long time. I recently
discovered that I can avoid this by generating the getdate.c file with a
newer version of bison, and since then there's no alloca() call in the
getdate.c source.

If you get a more recent version of curl, this problem won't be included.

Also, getting version 6 of curl for using with your own application is not
recommended. libcurl version 7 is modified pretty much so you'll have to
change a lot of things when you upgrade. Go with version 7 right away
instead.
