I was working on code that a developer made for me. It was full of bugs.
Not just these memory leak issues. Upon close investigation it became clear
to me that he based the epoll/curl parts of his code largely on the example
at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/ephiperfifo.html

Perhaps this example could be updated to do a clean shutdown to avoid
confusion?

As far as the documentation goes. Seems pretty good to me.
