I was experiencing the problem with 0.63. Interestingly, if I change the line
in question to

  # Drop the wheel and its cross-references.
  my $request_id = delete $heap->{wheel_to_request}->{$wheel_id};
  return unless defined $request_id;

then at the point the program would normally error it simply ceases to receive
successful HTTP responses. Haven't had time to figure out why this is the case,
though - but I got a mail off-list about this earlier as well so I'll try and
have a bash at it sometime next week if greater minds haven't solved the
mystery by then.
