  Thanks for the patch. I'm aware of the deadlock and Val Henson is working
on resolving these types of deadlocks more systematically. But since I
haven't heard from her for a while, I guess I'll merge your fix and she'll
update her series to reflect your change since those patches are going to
go in at earliest in the next merge window.
  To sum up: I've merged your patch.
