Package: curl
Version: 7.18.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #478864

curl always fails when trying to resolve a host name. Interestingly, if I run 
curl under strace, it succeeds. I have 
no idea as to why this might be the case. So
$ curl http://yahoo.com
curl: (6) Resolving host timed out: yahoo.com
$ strace curl http://yahoo.com 2> /dev/null
The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com/";>here</A>.<P>

Strange, but true. Does this make any sense to you?
