Great, thanks for the reference. I now agree with you (and Martin)
that it's a problem with libcurl itself, which should take EINTR into
account. In fact, the problem has been discussed on the curl mailing
list recently, I just found out. A fixed version of the library
doesn't seem to be distributed yet, though. For those who are
interested in the discussion about this issue, it's there:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.general/4005

In the meantime, I disable SIGALRM before calling curl_easy_perform,
as Martin suggested, and it seems to work like a charm.

Thanks for your help,
Michel.
