Not really. It's a theoretical hole only. It was exposed during POC work 
for a nasty w/a that ultimately didn't need to go forwards. The POC was 
generating fake interrupts and causing us to check the CTB channel after 
the CLIENT_RESET had been processed. We have never had an actual 
instance of an outstanding request during CLIENT_RESET. That would be a 
much more serious bug - trying to suspend while an engine is still 
processing a request.
