Yes, as I tried to explain: when using the multi interface the connections are
held by the multi handle so closing the individual easy handles won't
necessarily close the individual connection(s).

That won't work. FORBID_REUSE sets an option that gets applied on the
connection(s) the easy handle uses after the option has been set.
