Yes sure, it does. But it's nothing new. I've reported that behaivor in
my both mails before.

But I got a little different behaivor, after the 4s count down is gone,
curl returns -1 instead of ~4000

* STATE: WAITPERFORM => PERFORM handle 0xcd6398; (connection #0)
curl to: 3997
curl to: 2996
curl to: 1995
curl to: -1
curl to: -1
curl to: -1
* Operation timed out after 7002 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
* Closing connection #0

Also I think, it should start with ~7000 because the connection
was already done.

Uhhh, with hiperfifo it gets worser. Now also the connect timeout
doesn't work anymore (which was ok before, e.g. in 7.21.1).
