1. curl 6.5 is outdated, you should get a newer one
2. I hate to say this, but all the SSL stuff is done by OpenSSL and limits
such as these clearly are OpenSSL issues. Get the OpenSSL docs, read their
FAQ or join their mailing list to find out more about why things like this
happen. I would be very interested to know the results...
