Aha!

This looks like a hot track. I get the error whenever I use the environment
setting (both for ALL_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY) but there is no error when I use
the "-x" cmdline parameter.
I just checked some of the older versions and found that curl-6.5.2
correctly follows the redir on http://www.ibm.de/, curl-7.0.1beta does not
follow the redir (bot doesn't crash either) and all versions from 7.0.8 die
with the above error.
Seems like something broke in between. Do you feel like tracking that down
or do you want me to check it out (might take a while, though)?

Cheers,
