It seems this was a wetware (me) problem. Thanks to Richard Kurth of
directphp.com for teaching me wget.

The problem seems to have been some sort of coruption in downloading the
file to a windows desktop then uploading it to the Cobalt server.

Thanks also to Troy Engel for his help.

Hiya -- I'm copying this to the Curl mailing list, as I'm going to need
some help from the other guys on this one...

On your standard "RedHat-like" architecture (RedHat, Mandrake, PLD, etc)
the above works just fine; it's something unique (??) about Cobalt, is
my guess. I also have another fella on a SuSE box having some problems
too...

Anyone here know anything about this Sun Cobalt server? What
distro/setup it's based on?
