First, it has to leave them so that subsequent uses can be persistantly using
the same ones again.

Then, you can close the particular handle that holds the connection and all
currently open connections will be closed. Or you can mark the individual
connection with FORBID_REUSE and then they will be closed immediately after
the transfer is done.
