Ed Hein reported in github issue #1856 some occasional watchdog panics in 2.4.18 showing extreme contention on the proxy's lock while the libc was in malloc()/free(). One cause of this problem is that we call free() under the proxy's lock in proxy_capture_error(), which makes no sense since if we can free the object under the lock after it's been detached, we can also free it after releasing the lock (since it's not referenced anymore). This should be backported to all relevant versions, likely all supported ones.
