Quick update on this...

I sent another note about my inability to access the test.

While looking into this, though, I couldn't reproduce the exact race
mentioned in the bug.  However, I still believe it is there.  And, my
testing shows another race, this time between a call to
bfd_cache_close_all on one thread, and bfd_check_format_matches on
another.  I plan to rework my patch to account for this as well, I think
by having bfd_cache_close_all skip any BFDs currently being
format-matched.

Tom
