No, Pavel saw the problem with rc8 too, which already has that fix.

So I think we'll just need to revert that original patch (and that
means that we have to revert the commit you point to as well, since
that ->next_tick field was added by the original commit).

Pavel, can you verify that rc8 with both

  24b91e360ef521a2808771633d76ebc68bd5604b
  7bdb59f1ad474bd7161adc8f923cdef10f2638d1

reverted works reliably for you?
