Hey, could you please try this under gdb and provide a backtrace? It may
indeed be related to this refcount checking work, there was a bug fixed
by the ARM guys for cs-etm and I combed thru and fixed some other use
before check for NULL cases, maybe one more slipped up.

Here I couldn't reproduce, but I don't have a Intel hybrid system, will
check with an ARM, but unsure if it will exercise the same code paths...
