Well. I still disagree with 1/8, I think we need to fix and cleanup
the usage of cred_guard_mutex we already have. And to me the additional
complications added by, say, 4/8 make no sense, we can make a much more
simple change to avoid this leak "in practice".

But. I never pretended I understand the security problems. So I won't
really argue with these changes.

Oleg.
