hey Ted,
Sorry for the delayed response - was afk for a long weekend.
Your patch does seem to fix the issue for me - after applying the
patch, I was able to survive 20 iterations (and counting), where
previously it would always fail the first time.

However, I've received a conflicting report from a colleague who
appears to still be seeing errors. I'll get back to you ASAP once I am
able to (in-?)validate that observation.
