Could you be running out of sockets at this point? Try forcing each socket
to close after each request using one of the ways libcurl allows for this
(e.g. forcing HTTP/1.0 mode). libcurl will attempt to leave them open
by default in case they can be reused for future requests, and you might
be running out of new ones, or hitting the limit on open sockets in select.
