AFAIK, this happens when you have libcurl compiled and built with IPv6
support (getaddrinfo). Try rebuilding libcurl with ./configure --diable-ipv6
and I believe it'll work better.
I'm of course *very* interested in finding out a way to figure out this
dynamicly and in runtime pick a faster option.
