Summary: RETURNTRANSFER and CUSTOMREQUEST incompatibility

Initial Comment:
I'm posting this here as suggested on bugs.php.net.
This bugs shows an incompatibility between
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER and
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST.
For reference: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27341

Description:
------------
Trying to help a friend which wanted to do a curl HEAD
request with PHP (just like the shell curl -I does), I
wrote down this code, without much checking:

$ch = curl_init('http://foo/bar.html');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');

var_dump(curl_exec($ch));

In fact he tried it and told me it doesn't work, while this
does:

$ch = curl_init('http://foo/bar.html');

//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'HEAD');

ob_start();
curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(ob_get_clean());

I tried this both on win32 and ilnux with:
Win32: libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7b zlib/1.1.4
Linux: curl 7.10.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.10.8
OpenSSL/0.9.7c zlib/1.2.1
