I think Michael overstated things a little: I make no guarantees that
the stuff documented on that wiki page is actually the cause of the
crashes you're seeing. Like Daniel, I've been unable to reproduce your
problem -- most likely because it's incredibly timing-specific (assuming
my surmise about the reentrancy being the cause is correct).

Regardless, I'm going to fix the reentrancy mess, as it's been causing
us pain for the best part of 8 years now.
