Thanks for tracking this down. I'm willing to include a variation in
today's pull to fix 1.6.0-rc3. However, did you find an explanation
*why* it needs to be like this? I understand it is a revert to using the
static variable, updated to using the CPUClass field rather than the
previous preprocessor constant.

This bit looks wrong to me - it is updating the per-CPU count with the
global value. Could you retest without this please?
