I had a problem with curl - which is actually an English word!  I was
able to get around it in the first instance by making sure it only
occurred at the end of a line, so it was followed by a line feed and
NOT a space.  As soon as I put a space after it, the server spat the
dummy.

Personally I don't see why having the text 'curl' (or 'wget') in a
text file is a security issue.  Seems a bit brute force to me.
