I have an update on this problem.  If I comment out the following
statement, it works!

util/http.c:

    int
    http_wait_response( HTTP_HD hd, unsigned int *ret_status )
    {
	int rc;

	http_start_data( hd ); /* make sure that we are in the data */
	iobuf_flush( hd->fp_write );

	hd->sock = dup( hd->sock );
	if( hd->sock == -1 )
	    return G10ERR_GENERAL;
	iobuf_close( hd->fp_write );
	hd->fp_write = NULL;
	/* shutdown( hd->sock, 1 ); */	<<<<< COMMENT THIS OUT <<<<<
	hd->in_data = 0;

	hd->fp_read = iobuf_fdopen( hd->sock , "r" );
	if( !hd->fp_read )
	    return G10ERR_GENERAL;

	rc = parse_response( hd );
	if( !rc && ret_status )
	    *ret_status = hd->status_code;

	return rc;
    }

Does anyone have some idea WHY this would be the case?
