I extended a patch from David Shaw to make libcurl _always_ provide an error
string in the given error buffer to address the flaw mention on 21 sep 2005.

If the library does not return an error, the buffer may not have been
touched. Do not rely on the contents in those cases.
-In a few rare cases, there is no text string associated with the error in
-libcurl and then you may not get a string in the buffer even though it returns
-an error. This is considered a bug and we appreciate your reports about these
-cases. Anyway, you can avoid problems with these cases in your program by
-making sure to clear the first byte of the error buffer before you call
-curl_easy_perform().
.IP CURLOPT_STDERR
Pass a FILE * as parameter. Tell libcurl to use this stream instead of stderr
when showing the progress meter and displaying \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE\fP data.
