Thats a good point. Hopefully I am doing this right so it is getting to
the whole list but anyways here goes...

I was using the openBSD 4.3 install. The php version was 5.2.5 from the
4.3/i386 packages. The curl version was 7.17.1 in the same openBSD
packages. not really sure what version of apache was however whatever
the default 4.3 install installs for apache was what I was using. I
have a feeling it is the combination of curl 7.17.1 and php 5.2.5 as I
had the same issues when installing by downloading the files directly
form the curl and php sites. Those version numbers seem to be the
common denominator here, however I am unfortunately not experienced
enough to really know the root cause.
