i am running the curl command outside of the test suite.
all of the following yield the same result as above:

localhost% ~/curl-7.9.5-pre4/src/curl -H "a: b" http://127.0.0.1/
localhost% ~/curl-7.9.5-pre4/src/curl -H 'a: b' http://127.0.0.1/
localhost% ~/curl-7.9.5-pre4/src/curl -H a:\ b http://127.0.0.1/

however these work:

localhost% ~/curl-7.9.5-pre4/src/curl -H "a: b" http://127.0.0.1/
localhost% /usr/local/bin/curl -H "a: b" http://127.0.0.1/

my setup is:

localhost% ~/curl-7.9.5-pre4/src/curl -V
curl 7.9.5-pre4 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.3) libcurl 7.9.5-pre4
localhost% /usr/local/bin/curl -V
curl 7.9.2 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.2) libcurl 7.9.2
