Those numbers strike me as possibly being about the difference between Unix (\n) newlines vs. DOS (\r\n) newlines. Can you try converting newlines on the curl.exe file from DOS to Unix (perhaps using `d2u` or some other text-munging tool) and then see whether the file size is correct?

This isn't a cygwin platform is it? (they commonly have issues with this)

Have you tried a head or tail on the file to see whether the data at the beginning or end looks like anything in particular?
