Thanks! You are experiencing the problem known as "issue 12". It is one of the
few remaining issues in the TODO-RELEASE[*] document that I wish to have fixed
before we release 7.11.1.

Unfortunately, you're like the third person who reports this, and all of you
have provided different patches to work around the problem and yet no one has
reported back any feedback on my take at a serious and "correct" fix to this
problem. I posted my suggested fix here:

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-02/0271.html

If that patch is not the right thing, the A) I want to know and B) I want to
know why! ;-)
