Yes, it accidentally continues to the name resolver after it detected that it
was file://. The name resolver then looks up a zero-length name...

The 7.2.1 package includes curl 7.2. They're not always in synch and I
(usually) don't change the curl version number if it isn't changed. If I do
change it, I usually set the same version number to curl as libcurl is using
to avoid too much confusion.
