Daniel,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Sorry for not including this information in the first place--I meant to! I'm
running libcurl 7.15.3 on Macintosh (Mac OS X, 10.4.6). I complied it myself
as a static library using CodeWarrior 9.3.

Perhaps I didn't properly set a flag/define somewhere? I have no idea where
to start looking...

Thanks for your help!
