Initial Comment:
Howdy,

This problem seems to have appeared recently and only seems to appear when adding the -c option.

Here's my current curl information:

curl -V
curl 7.21.3-DEV (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.3-DEV OpenSSL/1.0.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.9
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: Debug TrackMemory IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

No error message appears:

Message:
Howdy,

Oops. I must apologize. This is all my fault. I've been having some
serious networking problems and have had to use "-c" in wget and goofed by
using "-c" instead of '-C' for curl.

Sorry to have bothered you with this one.

Regards and THANKS for your response.

George...

Message:
-c takes another parameter (as file name to store cookies in) which you say
is '-m'. The following paremeter is then '10' which curl then considers to
be 0.0.0.10 which isn't a really good IP.

Possibly curl should reject such a "silly" IP address, but it is being
very liberal in what it accepts on purpose.
