Good catch!
The code actually tries to detect a situation like this, but the
src/tool_paramhlp.c:str2offset() function is clearly not doing it good enough!
I have a fix pending now that will make curl detect A) a numerical string that
contains extra "garbage" like an ending "k" and B) not accept negative numbers
for a whole slew of options where negative numbers don't make sense or are
documented to work in any special way.
