Couldn't resolv host on HP-UX

Thank you Daniel. Curl now handles the -w variables correctly when a
single invocation of curl processes multiple URLs.
However, I downloaded and built the latest CVS source and curl is still
unable to resolve host names from DNS on HP-UX 10.20. Here is the
full description of the bug:
I successfully built the latest curl as of Aug. 16, 2000 with
openssl-0.9.5a on these platforms:
Red Hat Linux 6.2 with included gcc
HP-UX 10.20 with gcc 2.95.2
I am finding this bug when running on HP-UX 10.20 and HP-UX 11 (works
OK on Linux) using latest curl (Aug. 16, 2000) (OK on 6.5.2):
On a system where DNS is used for host name resolution, the command
line:
curl http://xx.yy.zz.com/
results in the error message:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolv host 'xx.yy.zz.com'
Note that xx.yy.zz.com can be resolved by ping, nslookup,
and curl 6.5.2. Using the IP address in place of the name works
correctly. The Linux test machine and both HP-UX test machines
point to the same DNS server for resolution.
