I _think_ this causes a crash. At least, I _think_ that's what
caused it one day (I was doing one of those jackhammer-the-server
sorts of tests, and it was one of about 50 things I was doing at the
time, to see if I could make it fall over. I did, but not where I
expected, and way beyond any real load we could anticipate).
