Re: [PATCH hurd] libports: use protected payloads to optimize the object lookup

Ok, I found the issue as being in gnumach: it was reading from a freed
ipc_port structure, and it happens that the payload was overwritten by
the free slot linked-list pointer. This happens when the destination
port gets down to zero reference right when delivering the message.

That could be due to that indeed.
