This really isn't an answer to your questions but ... have you considered upgrading to a newer version of curl? That version, which for some reason still comes as the default with Red Hat EL, is older than the hills. See if you can find a precompiled version of a newer release to install on your system and see if that fixes the problem. A lot has happened since that was released.
