log excerpt showing the two threads sliced at an inopportune time

This seems to be a rare race condition, where a thread acquires a device, then another releases it, leaving the original thread left with a released device when it gets to using it.

I got it to happen twice when starting a call with meego-app-im and cancelling it quickly.
