This may be related to a bug in cURL 7.16.0, which is reported
to be fixed in their current CVS version:

	http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2006-12/0085.html

In the meantime, we have a workaround for this particular
problem the above URL mentions since last week.

Please try "master" (or anything later than v1.5.0-rc0) to see
if it still breaks for you.

The fix also should apply cleanly on top of 1.4.4.3.

[PATCH] Work around http-fetch built with cURL 7.16.0

It appears that curl_easy_duphandle() from libcurl 7.16.0
returns a curl session handle which fails GOOD_MULTI_HANDLE()
check in curl_multi_add_handle().  This causes fetch_ref() to
fail because start_active_slot() cannot start the request.

For now, check for 7.16.0 to work this issue around.
