Infinite loop sounds related to Dan F's post from two weeks ago:
https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-10/0011.html, but the triggering reason
seems different(?)

How did you end up in this situation, is it reproducible? Are you using
Pipelining or HTTP/2 multiplexing?

While I think we should or could do that closing down sequence use more force
since it is about to close everything down anyway, it feels like there's a bug
lurking here that we should rather fix first than just trying to paint over
the problem by forcing the closure of that connection.
