start to rely on ISACTIVER to be accurate. So far I have not seen any
examples of it, but I agree it could happen, hence, it is risky.

I am only going to answer to this. This is not about *accuracy* but deadlock in your guest. I actually wrote a long e-mail on this thread explaining the possible deadlock.

It is not because you can't reproduce the deadlock that the dealock is not there. When are you going to stop dimissing real bug in your implementation?
