 after some discussion in chat and looking at the url cited in the PR,
 it looks like (1) layerfs is definitely involved, and (2) deep
 suspicion attaches to layer_node_find().
 
 see http://www.i8u.org/~htodd/crash/6b00.jpg and note that in the
 initial ps output, the lwp that isn't tstiling is waiting on "layerfs".
