This is an odd result. What appears to be happening is that the test harness
executes this curl command, but it's interpreted by curl as though the empty
"" string after --proxy isn't there, i.e. the command actually run is this:

 ../src/curl --output log/curl1004.out --include -v --trace-time http://127.0.0.1:8990/1004 --proxy >>log/stdout1004 2>>log/stderr1004

which results in a curl error and failure of the test case.

Can you track down why this happens on your machine? The command is run
at line 2089 of tests/runtests.pl which eventually just uses perl's system()
call on the string. You could also try replacing the "" with '' in the
tests/data/test1004 file which could help indicate if it's a weird quoting
problem. If you could somehow force perl to use a different shell to
execute the command (maybe /bin/ksh instead of /bin/sh) it would help
trace it to a shell problem.
