That's an interesting case. But do keep in mind that when the curl command is
about to exit, it will close all connections unconditionally - there's no need
for you to do anything extra for that! It can't keep anything alive when it
dies.

You're experiencing some kind of weird case. Possibly a bug somewhere.
