I'd second that guess.
I downloaded moc 2.4.4 and I found the select() call on line 359 in io_curl.c.
It clearly does not have a timeout and is the cause of this failure. I would
strongly suggest that the code would use curl_multi_timeout() or similar to
figure out the max time to wait. This bug is clearly due to moc making
assumptions about the curl API that isn't always true.
I wrote up a quick patch (see attachment) to show what I mean. I didn't try
it!
I've posted this in the moc forum for this issue too, but as you said it seems
mostly dead there.
