Upon (finally) coming back from the government shutdown, I found a script I wrote that uses curl had stopped working.  I was able to trace it back to curl's behavior with --netrc-file.

As of 8.17.0-1 (2025-11-09):
  --netrc-file full-path/netrc-file does not work
  --netrc-file netrc-file works, *if* netrc-file is in the current directory

I've confirmed via rollback that 8.16.0-1 works as it did previously.  Curl 8.16.0-1 is able to find the netrc file using its full path.

Has anyone else encountered this?
