I guess you're using OpenSSL-powered curls on both platforms? If so, I would
recommend that you try the same operations with the openssl tool and if that
also shows these problems, you contact the OpenSSL team instead. Of course
that also assumes that you use rather recent versions too.

If the openssl tools work fine in both cases we know the bug is within libcurl
and then we can proceed with trying to track that down.
