I examined that point more closely, and I found there could be several cases
that runtime could corrupt its data structure if it was interrupted.
Since the operations of relay channels(especially, relay_reserve) are not
atomic, we have to prohibit other interruptions while using relay channel.

I'm working on a patch which fixes this problem.
