Problem with HEAD (-I)

Hello

I've run into a very weird problem with curl. I'm trying to do a HEAD
query using the '-I' switch:
        
        [razor_at_euclid:~]> $ curl --version
        curl 7.11.0 (i386-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7c ipv6 zlib/1.2.1
        Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
        Features: IPv6 SSL libz NTLM

I run this command to retrieve the headers:
        
        [razor@euclid:~]> $ curl -I --connect-timeout 5 -v --trace-ascii trace.txt http://www.deftones.com

Now the program hangs. There is no output or what so ever. This is the
contents of trace.txt:
        
        [razor_at_euclid:~]> $ cat trace.txt
        == Info: About to connect() to www.deftones.com port 80
        == Info: Connected to h-64-236-242-245.wmg.com (64.236.242.245) port 80
        => Send header, 218 bytes (0xda)
        0000: HEAD / HTTP/1.1
        0011: User-Agent: curl/7.11.0 (i386-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.0 OpenS
        0051: SL/0.9.7c ipv6 zlib/1.2.1
        006c: Host: www.deftones.com
        0084: Pragma: no-cache
        0096: Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
        00d8:

Even after 10 minutes there is still no response. Can anybody shed some
light on this, please? :-)

Regards,
Christian

PS: Please CC me in all replies as I'm not on the list :-)
