Well there is a way around it; we just maintain our own reference
counter and use that to determine when to complete the original bio.
It just seems a shame when there's a ref count in the bio already.
But if Jens and Christophe are adamant that bio_chain is going to be
the one and only way to access that ref count then I'll allocate
another object to hold the ref count.
