Ooops. I don't think that applies when you have used the handle with the
multi interface. I'll have to check that, and perhaps update the
documentation.

Hmm, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE should be set before the transfer, not after.
But if you do, it will reopen the control channel for every transfer.
Not a good idea, sorry...

I think your best option is to close the multi interface with
curl_multi_cleanup() when you are done.
