Thanks Niraj for the advice.

In the end Nikita (in the bug
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=577649>) made me realize
that I didn't need to overcomplicate things as all the memory is freed at
once I don't need to work too hard to reference count the multiple
references to the same block of memory.
