Can you send me the config for where you can reproduce it on x86?

The iterator now doesn't stop the ring buffer when it iterates, and is
doing so over a live buffer (but should be able to handle it). It's
triggering something I thought wasn't suppose to happen (which must be
happening).

Perhaps with your config I'd be able to reproduce it.
