The crashes occur because of the following sequence of events:
* Cluepacket comes in
* RunQuery in the CPM kills any outstanding running threads
* A new thread is launched for each backend
* One of those backends is a chainer. it creates a new
cluepacket, and sends it out
* the new, chained cluepacket comes in
* RunQuery in the CPM kills any outstanding running threads:
