Summary: -s in ftp upload causes incorrect value in time_total

Initial Comment:
When trying to calculate ftp upload speeds I came upon
the following.

Solaris 8

$ uname -a
SunOS gorilla 5.8 Generic_108528-17 sun4u sparc
SUNW,UltraAX-i2
datapro_at_gorilla:/dataprowap/wap/1x_gorilla/1x_b1
$ /usr/bin/time /usr/celltools/bin/curl -V
curl 7.10.3 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) libcurl/7.10.3
OpenSSL/0.9.6g zlib/1.1.3

Here's the problem:
/usr/bin/time curl -T foobar -s -w '%{time_total}'
ftp://USER:PSWD@IP/dest_name

The time returned is significantly shorter than the
system time. BUT when you run curl w/o the '-s' the
time matches exactly.

Since I was calculating the transfer speed as
(size_upload)/(time_total - time_starttransfer) when I
use the '-s' I get numbers that are impossible.
Without the '-s' everthing is great.
