If the problem is related to tag handler reuse, adding super.release()
will not fix the problem (even though it may still be a good idea). The
release() method is only called once, just before the tag handler is
no longer to be used.
To fix problems related to reuse, you must make sure that per-invokation
state gets reset for each invocation, typically in the doStart() method.
