I'm going to assume it's the exact same thing (and thus hopefully
fixed by the revert that I just pushed out), but now I'm really
curious what your load is, since you seem to recreate this so easily.
I ran with that patch for weeks.

But I suspect my issue is that while I tested lots of concurrent
lookups, I don't run into low-memory situations.
