I believe this is the same issue mentioned here:

https://curl.se/docs/knownbugs.html#Multi_perform_hangs_waiting_for

... I think we should consider providing a way for libcurl to *not* wait for
that final thread and continue anyway and that way avoid this "hang" - even
if that then also risks causing a memory leak.
