I've been seeing something like this on Linux too, with a recent CVS build.
On a dial-up connection under extremely heavy load. When I build
with ares, the timeout occurs almost immediately, without ares, it takes
a few seconds but still hits a dns timeout. I haven't tried reverting
back to an
older version of curl yet, but the same URL's still resolve and download
fine with wget.
