Absolutely nothing to be sorry about - you've been an exemplary tester
with very low latency. Thanks a lot.

Ogawa found a race in my original 2/2, and Greg has a small fix pending,
but that almost certainly won't realistically matter for any real-life
testing, so you don't really need to worry about it.

But I'll forward that patch (and another couple cleanup patch) for you for
testing after I've verified it myself. But don't feel like you have to
worry about those extra patches - testing the initial refcount handling is
the thing that matters most, the thing I have pending really is just
details.
