Are you sure that the tasklet isn't being garbage collected itself, as
the last reference to it inside the channel is removed?  Then the
tasklet would be killed, by having a TaskletExit raised on it.  I have
debugged crash bugs with this behaviour in the past.

If the former, then there must be a reference bug since in that case it shouldn't have entered the 'unreachable' list in the first place.

I am presuming these follow from the answer to 1).

Cheers,
