Unfortunately, I don't have a reproducer or test case that can reliably trigger this race. But as we saw earlier, this is a real bug, and we can tell that just by analyzing the code. The real environment is complex and unpredictable, and such races are possible. Wouldn't it be nice if we found it and fixed it now?
