Seems you're registering the atexit cb twice here; you should only do so
in the first "!conn" block.

It would be nicer to be able to call atexit() in GetConnection() instead
of at each callsite, but that would require a place to save each conn
struct into, which is probably more work than warranted.

This is a bit ugly, but meh.

Other than the first point, LGTM.
