Absolutely nothing to be sorry about - you've been an exemplary tester 
with very low latency. Thanks a lot.

Ogawa found a race in my original 2/2, and Greg has a small fix pending, 
but that almost certainly won't realistically matter for any real-life 
testing, so you don't really need to worry about it. 

But I'll forward that patch (and another couple cleanup patch) for you for 
testing after I've verified it myself. But don't feel like you have to 
worry about those extra patches - testing the initial refcount handling is 
the thing that matters most, the thing I have pending really is just 
details.
