My mistake. Le me try again. The first eviction attempts attempts to
validate an object that has already been destroyed (from the previous run).

I need to do some more testing to figure out why an object is no longer
in the pool but is in the cursor.

Having slept on the problem, I agree with you. Neither, r780905 nor
r781166 should be required. Something else is going wrong. I'm going to
revert r781166 and do some more testing.
