It's because the thread still has the socket open.  If you pass the
socket to the thread:
    threads->create("image_thread", $hybid, $c)->detach;

And then close it in the thread:
    sub image_thread {
        my $hybid = shift;
        my $socket = shift;
        $socket->close();
        ...

You don't get that problem.
