Hi, thanks for emailing; I don't get bugzilla notifications, so I hadn't
seen this yet.

There have been a number of fixes to that commit (which I see are
mentioned in a quick skim of the bug), but they've mostly been around
additional slab debugging features. If it's causing a problem outside
of that, my instinct would be there might be a use-after-free happening,
but I'll go read the bug more closely now, and comment there (or here,
if needed).

Thanks!
