I've noticed failures on the NetBSD autobuilds as well, but I've been unable to
successfully install NetBSD in a VM to test it. Maybe I'll have more luck with
OpenBSD. What I noticed in the NetBSD logs is that rather than receiving an
initial 64 KiB block of data, it looks like on NetBSD it's only receiving
closer to 48 KiB. I wanted to try this patch on NetBSD to see if it's related
to Nagle's algorithm, but couldn't get to the point where I could try it:

diff --git a/tests/data/test1474 b/tests/data/test1474

 </command>
 # Must be large enough to trigger curl's automatic 100-continue behaviour
 <file name="%LOGDIR/test%TESTNUMBER.txt">

It's a finicky test (which is why it's marked flaky) but it should work fine on
an unloaded system.
