Argh! You are completely correct. The intention was that
rpc_release_resources_task() should be able to be called more than once,
which means that we have to set task->tk_msg.rpc_cred to NULL after
freeing the cred. I've no idea why I missed that when I cleaned up that
code.

Thanks for debugging this!
