FYI, I can reproduce this on my home server, Debian etch:

petole:~# curl --verbose --max-time 5 http://10.10.10.10
* About to connect() to 10.10.10.10 port 80
* Trying 10.10.10.10... Timeout
* connect() timed out!
* Closing connection #0
curl: (28) connect() timed out!

petole:~# curl --verbose --max-time 5 http://10.10.10.10
* About to connect() to 10.10.10.10 port 80
* Trying 10.10.10.10... Timeout
* couldn't connect to host
* Closing connection #0
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

petole:~# curl --verbose --max-time 5 http://10.10.10.10
* About to connect() to 10.10.10.10 port 80
* Trying 10.10.10.10... Timeout
* couldn't connect to host
* Closing connection #0
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

petole:~# curl --verbose --max-time 5 http://10.10.10.10
* About to connect() to 10.10.10.10 port 80
* Trying 10.10.10.10... Timeout
* connect() timed out!
* Closing connection #0
curl: (28) connect() timed out!

petole:~# curl -V

Furthermore, on an oldie (SunOS 2.6), I have the same thing:

$ curl --verbose --max-time 5 http://10.10.10.10
* About to connect() to 10.10.10.10 port 80 (#0)
* Trying 10.10.10.10... Timeout

* Closing connection #0
curl: (28) connect() timed out!

$ curl --verbose --max-time 5 http://10.10.10.10

* Trying 10.10.10.10... Timeout
* couldn't connect to host
* Closing connection #0

$ curl -V
