You could try removing the if statement

        /* At this stage, the connection may be closed or closing. But we
         * should try to interpret commands anyway, in case the client sends
         * QUIT and immediately closes the connection. */
        if (r && !connection_isfrozen(c)) {

in netloop.c, but I don't think this is the correct behaviour.
