Neal, thanks for looking into this.

There's another race, where two flows
stats_update() and stats_start() may send two queries in parallel
which will cause FW to assert.

I'm preparing the set for net, which includes the fix  for this race
also(will be out in a couple of hours)

I will be more than happy if you will take a look.

Thanks
Dmitry
