Ok, I will try getting extended error info and strace. Also I do
statically allocate the curl handle in C code so that it lives through
the entire call sequence.

And regrettably curl at the command line and simple.c(compiled to
simple) from the examples work just fine. tcpdump reveals completely
sane dns queries and eventual return of the URL requested.

The only difference I can think of is that JNI requires a 'by hand' ld
so if I have that wrong I might see these results. I'll keep at it.
Well and swig is in there but it's plain vanilla JNI stuff. Maybe I can
"break" simple with by hand gcc, ld to produce similar results :-)

Sounds like a good plan!

Now that's odd. Can you use curl find from the command line with the
same 
URL/host ?

First, enable CURLOPT_VERBOSE to see if you get any further info!
If that doesn't help, you could also try stracing your process to see if
you 
get any further info that reveals why this might happen.
