I can't think how to debug this remotely since I've never had that message.

Maybe you could try compiling flickcurl with --enable-capture which will
save all web service results in files in directory xml/ (relative to
where you run it)

The flickcurl_set_error_handler usage is demonstrated in the flickcurl
utility which you can find in utils/flickcurl.c - it lets you save
error messages
that happened during a function call.
