That certainly sounds like a (libcurl) bug. What libcurl version are you using
on what platform? Have you tried to use wireshark to see what's actually
happens on the network at that point in time? Or perhaps try using
CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION to get to see more details exactly what libcurl does and
what it sends and receives. Could provide some additional clues.

Does the problem repeat itself every time against the same URL or does it
vary?
