+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2237228 +++

Description of problem:
While testing a patch of BZ#2233497 using the upstream unit test 1397 I've discovered that the current patch may be incomplete – the unit1397 test fails without the patch attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.76.1-23.el9_2.2 (rhel-9.2)
7.76.1-26 (rhel-9)
7.76.1-23.el9_2.2 (rhel-8.8)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build curl with --enable-debug (triggers unit testing)
2. Wait for unit test 1397 to run.
3. Inspect build log.

Actual results:
