Comment:

 See also ticket:2330 (don't seem to be able to mark as duplicate here).

 This is not merely a problem.  This is a showstopper, because it renders
 interrupt_all() worse than not present: unless you know of this
 workaround, you can introduce a bug into your problem that is very close
 to track down and can lead to data loss (full lockdown).
