OK, I guess I should have tried this earlier...

I enabled verbose output from curl and found that it was hanging while
trying to enable EPSV mode before it moved on the PASV.  Adding

  curl_easy_setopt (curl, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV, false);

calling curl_easy_perform in the urlget function in
src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc fixes the problem.
