I'll try the patch next. Meanwhile, can polling on a closed event cause problems with the reference count?
In my various failure traces there's always been a poll() active at the time of crash, and I added some trace_printk()s and it looks like poll is at least attempting to poll on the closed file descriptor that's causing us problems.
