While working on the audit by executable path feature, it was discovered that
watches and parent references were slightly imbalanced and deeper than
necessary.

Only bump up references when they are actually used and decrease when removed.


v4: Eliminate unnecessary gotos and call return directly.
    Expand patch description with answer to mailing list query.
