I noticed when running that "hiperfifo" thing, I sometimes see
the running_handles value set by curl_multi_socket() to
something below zero ( which seems like it would be impossible.)

When I rebuild libcurl with --enable-debug, and set CURLOPT_VERBOSE=1
I see some lines like this:

* STATE: COMPLETED => COMPLETED handle 0x84ee354; (connection #-1)
* STATE: COMPLETED => COMPLETED handle 0x84e992c; (connection #-1)
* STATE: COMPLETED => COMPLETED handle 0x84dc724; (connection #-1)

 - That's coming from the multistate() procedure in multi.h, which
   also does this:

if(state == CURLM_STATE_COMPLETED)
    easy->easy_handle->multi->num_alive--;

For the case where the previous state was already CURLM_STATE_COMPLETED,
should num_alive still get decreased?
