It does sound a bit similar, but the only effect of setting
suppress_curl_debug:0 appears to have been to lengthen the timeout period:

The first 8 seconds are me dropping my pre-prepared message into the reply
form; the next 24 seconds are the browser waiting for curl to fetch; after
that, it's busy rendering the error page. :-(
