You do not need to explicitly insert these tasklets.  Calling them
with the arguments to use does this implicitly.

Or a channel being garbage collected.  Looks like a straightforward
fix, the channel needs to hold a reference to itself while there are tasklets
blocked on it.

Care to provide a patch for this one? :)
