Ah, PL_destroyhook had completely passed me by.
I've just had a look at the bleed version of threads::shared, and there
appears to be a destroyhook race condition:
If both threads try to free a shared object (RC=2) around the same time,
they both call Perl_shared_object_destroy, both conclude they shouldn't
call DESTROY since RC > 1, and thus the object is freed with no-one
calling the destructor.
