I am going to test your patch heavily.

In the meantime, the reverse regression test with the 'cla9' saved
game/testcase gave this result:

commit 4f74de5b366275ea522e269d29d2011a7b153e9e
Author: Aleksey Bragin <aleksey at reactos.org>

    ntdll: Fix buffer overread in RtlNumberOfSetBits.

with 4f74de5b366275ea522e269d29d2011a7b153e9e^ (the predecessor) the save
attempt consistently fails. Applying 4f74de5b366275ea522e269d29d2011a7b153e9e
makes the save succeed.

Repeatingly applying and reverting said commit causes the cla9 testcase to
succeed and fail respectively, in a way to suggest that this change has at
least an influence on this bug.

Can you put this information in correlation to the race condition?
