I'm able to repeat this using your code. The problem is related to the
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT option overflowing. Internally, this timeout is converted
to milliseconds so the timeout value in the code (1E+9, or 31.7 years)
overflows its 32 bit variable. On ARM, it becomes negative whereas on x86
it seems to overflow more conveniently.

Changing OP_TIMEOUT to 1000000 (11 days) fixes the problem.

This probably warrants some mention in the documentation; I suspect most of
the timeouts that accept seconds could overflow in the same way.
