That is not a message curl says. I'd say you have many options to what could
be the one responsible for this message, but here's my two best offers:

  1) curl crashes and you have some monitoring tool that pops up this message
     when things like that happen. I've seen windows machines with such stuff

  2) you don't use an unmodified curl version, but one that someone has
     modified

That certainly sounds like option (1) from above. You probably get some stack
strace or register dump or similar.

You need to give us more details first. Like what curl version and more
exactly what command line you use. Preferably even what the server responded
(like when recorded with --trace-ascii).

I wouldn't post confidential mails to public mailing lists. It feels like an
oxymoron. But that might just be me.
