problems with digest authentication

Hi!

CURL seems to have problems parsing the following answer sent from a
Jigsaw server while accessing a digest-authentication protected resource:

== Info: Authentication problem. Ignoring this.
<= Recv header, 182 bytes (0xb6)
0000: WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="W3CACL", domain="/Archives/Team/
0040: w3t", qop="auth", nonce="286ce50c3b914571799e56c2dfcacac1", opaq
0080: ue="8de32880edc1164f0cfa28da3cf2e318", algorithm=MD5

I've the problem with curl (debian stable package), and also with the
latest curl (7.16.1) compiled from the tgz.

I am using curl from the command line,:

/curl --trace-ascii /tmp/trace.txt --user username:password --digest
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Team/w3t/2007Feb/

CURL returns the 401, but doesn't go further ahead in the process. If I
try accesing another dig-authentication protected resource, but served
by an Apache 2.2.x server, it works as expected:

0000: WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="W3CACL", nonce="5vDW/PopBAA=bdbd
0040: 3955f430e765fef0f916077bf2d926328246", algorithm=MD5, qop="auth"

The http_digest.c file has code to take into account "opaque".

Any idea what the problem may be here?

Thanks!
