        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
It occurs to me that the above can deadlock. It ought not call the
callback function under the GlobalMid_Lock. I'll plan to respin this
set with a fix for that (probably by moving all of the mids to a
separate retry list and having the callback function move them back to
the pending_mid_q).
