I thought Felix's patch had gone into .28, but in fact it hasn't.
We should probably get it in or queue it for .28.1 -- it's a two

John, if you're reading, that's 23c401574b16cb2b6d2231ba405ebf85b8c87de5
in wireless-testing.

The lockup can still occur, but it's a lot less frequent with his patch.
