I don't think there is.

I tried an 80KB post without any problems. What platform is this on? Can
you run curl under valgrind and see if shows any uninitialized buffers being
used or buffer overflows? Is the correct data being sent or is the garbage
data actually being sent as well? Is this purely a logging problem? Does
it show up with --trace-ascii as well? The garbage data you're seeing isn't
being returned by the server by any chance, is it?
