OK, it turns out the hard-lock and the null pointer dereference might be 
the same, I have a random seed for the fuzzer from a hard-lock crash that 
reproduces and it generated the null pointer crash.  (This is with your 
patch applied).

I can try to see if I can bisect down to a specific event sequence that 
triggers this, but that can be tricky sometimes if things lock up so fast 
that the event log doesn't get written out before the crash.
