   @yzang thanks for looking again. It's really good to have someone thinking 
deeply about this stuff to shake out the issues.
   
   Regarding the proposed race, in step 5, markDead will compareAndSet on the 
refCount. If refCount is 0, it sets to -0xDEAD. In step 6, when thread A calls 
tryRetain, it will see refCount is less than 0, since -0xDEAD is negative, and 
so return false.
