Hmmm, that's very odd.  Tried it 3 times here and master was always at the
same commit (0421997bfd5).

Using 1.5.3 here and it works just fine.  Perhaps it has something to do with
your version of the Curl library?  This is what is in use here:

$ curl --version
curl 7.16.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.16.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8e zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict http file https ftps 
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL libz
