curl 7.14.0 works fine on Debian unstable for me:

$ curl -u [user]:[password] --dump-header dump ftp://localhost/
(ends successfully with no complaints)
$ ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.5

For fun I also tried curl 7.13.2 on an old Redhat using glibc 2.2.4 and it
worked just fine as well, using the full line:

$ curl -u anonymous:fool@fool.com --dump-header dump ftp://ftp.sunet.se/

... and on Solaris 7 I tried curl 7.9.8 (yep, I had it lying around!) and
7.14.1 with the exact same command line and they worked too.

I tried curl 7.10.6 on RHEL4 amd64 using glibc 2.3.2 and it worked fine.

But when I curl 7.12.1 on RHEL4 x86 it... crashed!

And when I try the latest CVS on this same box it crashes too. On a free when
disconnecting... I'll investigate further!
