... <snip>

I've got an alternate approach for fixing this wart in lookup_ioctx()...
Instead of using an rbtree, just use the reserved id in the ring buffer
header to index an array pointing the ioctx.  It's not finished yet, and
it needs to be tidied up, but is most of the way there.

free memory.
