Sure, I think we can use this for an immediate workaround. Nevertheless
we want to have a full fix and do not rely on this being the only
problem. I would eventually like to reintroduce the draining later when
we have a better fix because even though this is not a correctness
problem I think we should try hard to not leave anything behind.
