Right, I was only really pointing out the hackish aspects of it in order
to justify why we don't jump to fix this 'regression' (which is what
we'd usually do if someone tells us that something that's worked for two
years suddenly stopped working) :)

If streaming stops due to an error or some other reason (e.g. seek),
_get_state() will not abort and return. A gdb stack trace with debugging
symbols (thread apply all bt) often goes a long way to figure out
where/why it hangs.
