mysql connection leak on error

I was playing with the driver and noticed when the main mysql module timed
out during a connection the main process would exit with an error but the
mysql_conn process stayed around and held the mysql connection open... the
following seems to fix it

If this solve the problem and it does look like it, who should add it in the 
repo?
