Otherwise, the txrx-compl-task may access some bad memory?

The backtraces were all over the place because the driver was writing to
memory after it was freed, so I am not sure they are worth while.  I'm sure I posted
some to the mailing lists around the time where I was working on this, but since
I was fighting several different problems, hard to know exactly what was what.

Thanks,
Ben
