Oops, not true.  If the one who would deny service also drops the remote 
reference to the whenMoreResolved argument (the WhenResolvedReactor), then 
the vat-crossing reference to it will be gc'ed, and a subsequent partition 
won't invoke its reactToLostClient method.  This doesn't change any of the 
correctness and incorrectness statements made in the previous email, but we 
do lose a pleasant irony.
