Most of the time it will work as expected, my comment was about a corner case.
Are you going to repost this patch? Btw. I think that a local variable
to restart the loop with an incremented value is enough.

If i got it right the refcount exist only because of the error handler,
i also think it might be rewritten so, that it could be removed.
This the atomic_inc/and atomic_inc_return is a small detail, but if you repost
the patch why not fix it too?
