Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.
By the way, Eric, were you able to reproduce the bug I mentioned earlier?

It has proven itself to be very difficult to trigger.
I received several reports of successfull 24-hour ztest runs, only 1 user has 
been affected.

I've changed the ztest attach/detach frequency to "always", and was able to 
reproduce it once in 10 minutes. I think I was lucky, because I tried to 
reproduce it again and even after 10 hours I wasn't able to do it..

I have the core file available, but I haven't analyzed the cause yet.
