Note how the "Time Spent" varies apparently randomly from a factual 3
seconds to 1:11:38. Anyone know why?
Thanks.

# curl -V

Can someone else try to reproduce this?

I'd like to but I'm experiencing some down time (laptop died and I'm
stuck with a tether for Internet), and I'm not certain how exactly curl
was compiled.

Tap, Tap, Tap.
Ian, does this look correct?

I'm pretty sure this weird time was the result of one of the 'time_t'
regressions in lib/timeval.c that we've subsequently fixed. As the forum post
[*] accurately points out, 1:11:38 is basically 2^32 microseconds.

If this issue can be reproduced using 7.56.1 or git master I'd be most
interested, but I feel pretty certain this is already fixed.
