Handling of timeouts on clock jump

I have an issue with libcurl 7.19.2 related to timeouts. At boot time my
device begins fetching files once networking is up. Another task which
runs in parallel is NTP. If NTP syncs during a file transfer this causes
a huge clock jump and libcurl immediately returns a timeout. Has this
been addressed in later versions of libcurl, and if not how do others
handle changes to the system clock?
