Review comment:
       Hi @pitrou I was trying to understand why you used a static variable 
here instead of `jvm_buf.retain()` like before? I'm a little concerned about 
how this would behave with multiple threads and buffers that have different 
`ReferenceManager`s since `retain()` is called on the static var, but 
`release()` is called on the instance var..
