Bug description:  RETURN_TRANSFER dies if site doesn't ping

Using --with-curl and "libcurl 7.8 (SSL 0.9.5)":

If you use the following function with a url that pings, but does not
answer, it will die.  I have a script set up to continue for timeouts, but
it does not continue, it dies.  If you change CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to 0,
it will not die, but also does not return the data in a variable as I need
it to.

I would give you a url to try, but chances are that it will be back up by
the time you get to this.  This works *fine* for sites not found, pages not
found, dns errors, timeouts, etc.  It is only a problem if the computer is
in the DNS records but does not respond (to ping).

function get_data($url, $timeout=15) {

        $timeout = (int)$timeout;
        $ch = curl_init ();
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_MUTE, 0);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

        $page = curl_exec ($ch);
        #print curl_error($ch);
        #print "<br>";
        #print "page: $page";
        #$i = curl_getinfo($ch);
        #print_r($i);
        curl_close ($ch);

        return trim($page);
}
