That is perfectly understandable as you're effectively cutting off the branch
you're sitting on when doing that.

That's not what you want to do. You want to *return* out from the callback and
have the transfer aborted. And that is done by returning a failure from thr
write callback (return any value that is not the total number of bytes you
received as input).

curl_easy_cleanup() etc should then be used by your app as normally.
