Does it help to wait before reattaching?

Revert the map/unmap dance I tried in commit 73042b8d1; that helps
not at all.

Instead, speculate that the unwanted allocation is being done on
another thread, and thus timing variations explain the apparent
unpredictability.  Temporarily add a 1-second sleep before the
VirtualFree call, in hopes that any such other threads will
quiesce and not jog our elbow.

This is obviously not a desirable long-term fix, but as a means of
investigation it seems useful.
