This is surprisingly difficult to fix -- the reason being that URL
library is asynchronously following a redirect, and possibly opening a
new connection, and then marking that new connection with
`process-query-on-exit-flag'.  So depending on where you are in that
cycle, the buffer may have a query-enabled process when you try to kill
it.

Which sucks.

On timeouts, url-retrive-synchronously should abort the entire thing,
but url-retrieve (which is used in the background) doesn't really
support that...

Hm.
