So it turns out that if I ran curl manually, I'd get something like
this:

  * getaddrinfo(3) failed for cvs.fedora.redhat.com:443
  * Couldn't resolve host 'cvs.fedora.redhat.com'
  * Closing connection #0
  curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'cvs.fedora.redhat.com'

Name resolution seemed to be working fine, but I also noticed that yum
was failing also.  To make a long story short, the glibc update last
week seemed to be having fits over my (ancient) /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Replacing that with a vanilla copy fixed everything.

Whee.
