Aha - that's the stable documentation that I missed.  Thanks, Randy.

I figured that there was an explanation somewhere.  And there it is,
right in plain view.

Reading ...

My patch does pass the following criteria:

 - No "theoretical race condition" issues, unless an explanation of how
   the race can be exploited.

The conditions to trigger the race are too delicate to exploit
quickly.  I don't have a coded exploit.

Apparently I did the right thing by _not_ sending this patch to
stable@xxxxxxxxxx <grin>.

This patch is dead.
