In the realm of Voodoo Programming, but worth a shot nonetheless...

curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.cnn.com');

I vaguely recall a problem back in the day where under some
circumstances the arg to curl_init was messing me up.  This could
EASILY have been that I had a typo in my own arg, of course.  It's a
Swiss-cheese memory...

No surprise.

PHP only "counts" CPU time that PHP is spending, not CPU time that
curl or MySQL or exec() or extension xyz is spending.

You should be able to set a curl time out though, so you can at least
kill off this script when it is taking too long...

Any followup on this bit should move back to PHP-General, I should think.
