It does, but there's a new problem: it sometimes crashes in the
collect_connections thread during the winhttp tests, because wininet has
been unloaded while the thread is still running. Probably the thread
needs to grab a library reference, though a collection mechanism that
doesn't require a separate thread would be even better. I can still put
the patch in for now, since the failure is not very frequent.
