Good news is that the problem in curl package has been fixed and was
built for F-15:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/curl-7.21.3-9.fc15

But we need this change to be propagated to the xmlrpc-c too. As you
wrote, there is already a fixed version for F-16 and F-17:
xmlrpc-c-1.16.24. I checked the source code, the GSSAPI delegation fix
should be there. We just need to ask them to release an update for F-15
too. Adding xmlrpc-c Fedora owner to the CC list. Enrico, can you please
release the package for F-15 too?

When all this is ready, I plan to immediately send a patch & update
our .spec to make this work on F-15.
