Shouldn't this technically tie in with ResourceOwners? If a pointer takes the 
pin count from 1 to 2, then that pointer should be invalid by the time the pin 
count goes from 2 to 1...

I'm worried that a simple test when pin count is 0 could miss some cases of 
pointers just happening to be cleared by a second part of the code even though 
the pin count has already dropped.
