I'm not sure that I completely understand the 'curl part is skipped' part of your description, but ... Have you checked the environment that OOo executes the script in? I see that the soffice script modifies and exports LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH by adding locations to the head of the list, so a conflicting library and utility name may change behaviour somehow. I would check the environment of your working and non-working shells using 'ps' with the 'e' flag, or look in the /proc filesystem. (Put a long 'sleep' call in your script to make it wait while you check). If it is the environment, you could perhaps ensure that your script is not dependent on the inherited environment.
