Ok, but then I would claim that this isn't a leak but they are simply requests
you start that never complete and therefore keep occupying that memory until
you clean them up.

Ah yes - my gut reaction was wrong here as you do connect fine. It then just
sits waiting to issue its request but it can't do that until the previous
request completes.

You can still set CURLOPT_TIMEOUT of course, or one of the suggestions at
