ab has a code path that checks for this case and ignores the closed connection, but the test for this was based on whether the current connection had keepalive headers - which it could never be, because, the connection closed before the headers arrived. I added a check as to whether the connection had been kept alive in the past, and now the errors are all gone.

Will try some more testing on a Linux VM on my Macbook Pro, it should be quicker.
