I'd actually prefer to get the surprises, because this one definitely
pointed to a real problem where somebody could have triggered the very
same oops by just making sure the segments were invalid at the time of a
APM event..

(And we definitely do want to do "lazy" cleanup of segments - it's just
too painful to try to do it exactly).
