Let me know if you would like me to add more debugging. The failure happens
once every few weeks or so.

For now, I'm just going to comment out those WARN_ON()s in my tests, as it
causes me to have to restart them :-p (I can modify the testing scripts to
restart where it last failed as it is a couple of hours into the tests when
it triggers, but it is still a pain).
