Description:
------------
I recently upgraded from php 5.2.6 to 5.2.9 and now when I run a php script from the command line cURL takes 3 seconds to run. On 5.2.6 it was instantaneous. php 5.2.8 was taking 10 seconds to run. fopen runs instantaneously so it is not a dns lookup issue. All other php scripts run instantaneously. As you can see for the expected result and the actual result php cURL takes a long time to start.

Expected result:
