curl: (27) Out of memory
tcpdump: truncated dump file; tried to read 4 file header bytes, only got 0
autopkgtest [08:15:21]: test run-example

With a recent upload of curl the autopkgtest of stenographer fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of curl from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form: Currently this regression is blocking the migration of curl to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the bug to the right package?
