> First, the old ad-hoc `Cleaner` implementation used to exit the VM when 
> cleaning action failed. I presume it was to avoid memory leak / accidental 
> reuse of the buffer. I moved the relevant block to `Deallocator` directly. 
> Unfortunately, I cannot easily test it.

> Second is quite a bit hairy. Old DBB cleaning code was hooked straight into 
> `Reference` processing loop. This was possible because we could infer that 
> the weak references we are processing were DBB cleaning actions, since old 
> `Cleaner` was the only use of this code. With standard `Cleaner`, we have 
> lost this association, and so we cannot really do this from the reference 
> processing loop. With the patched version, we now rely on normal `Cleaner` 
> thread to do cleanups for us. Because of this, there is a new outpacing 
> opportunity window where reference processing might have been over, but 
> cleaner thread has not reacted yet.
