Thanks for the detailed analysis.  On crashes like these, the commit
message is as important as the patch itself.  I would have gone one step
further, and included the crash recipe in 0/2 in the commit message.

ACK - this idiom matches other places in code where reducing the
references to 0 on an error path has disastrous consequences, so
maintaining the extra ref makes sense.
