7.9.2 was also built from source. (i have upgraded my o/s version
since, from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 if i remember correctly, explaining the
darwin version difference.)

i tried to rebuild ("./configure" and "make" but not "make install")
7.9.2 but it also experienced the same problem.

then i tried installing ("make install") 7.9.5-pre and the problem disappeared.

it seems that it is working properly when installed, but not when
running from its own directory. both 7.9.2 and 7.9.5-pre4 apparently
behave this way.

i modified tests/runtests.pl to use to installed "curl" instead of
"../src/curl" and ran the test suite after having installed
7.9.5-pre4:

72 tests out of 72 reported OK: 100%
7 tests were skipped due to restraints
