Curious. Is this a new regression? I mean, did previous versions of curl did
any better?

server.input is written by the test server, so when it doesn't exist or is
blank it means the test server didn't receive any protocol bytes to write
there. This would indicate that curl failed before that point in time.

Returned: 2011 is at least a clue. This is from the test script's:

  https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/tests/runtests.pl#L4512

I suspect that "$cmdres" gets the value to be > 2000 by a line before that:

  https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/tests/runtests.pl#L4258

... which would indicate that curl died with a SIGSEGV.

If you rerun it with gdb it probably shows:

  $ ./runtests.pl -g 9

(and type 'run' to run it within gdb)

If it indeed does hit a SIGSEGV inside gdb, a stack trace would give us a lot
of clues!
