> {{DeliveryImpl}} manages several doubly linked lists (of links, work and 
> transportWork). However it does not function properly if removal is done out 
> of order. It leaves object references in the next/previous pointers which on 
> a large scale inhibit the system from garbage collecting these object, namely 
> the {{DeliveryImpl}} object graph.
> In practice this was discovered when message consumers delay settlement of 
> messages until after a period of time elapses (i.e. some async work is done 
> in another thread). This causes out of order settlement to occur, leaving 
> object references. Eventually the JVM will run out of memory and the process 
> will crash. The heap can be examined to discover a large number of 
> {{settled}} {{DeliveryImpl}}(s) which are holding references to themselves.
