True, I was expecting add_rmid_to_limbo() to always transiently add CLOSID to limbo,
hence this is unconditional, but you're right its optional - and this could cause everything
to pile up in the list when the limbo handler isn't running.
I'll add a check on entry->busy, and move this into the above if case.


Thanks,

James
