  I've generated the patches against a master branch of Mark's git as of
yesterday. But they aren't very intrusive so I guess they should apply also
to other branches just fine.

  Yes, they're exactly meant to solve these issues. I'm not able to trigger
the deadlock with these patches anymore. I was to tired to update the
bugzilla yesterday evening, I wanted to do it when Mark takes the patches.
