Yeah, that's to be expected.
I think many corner cases may be found: hash table in the middle of 
filling, opened file descriptors, an incorrect combination of variables, 
  'not yet visited' subtrees - who knows what else? So, last time, I 
just ended up with the idea that using the explain code is a bit 
dangerous - in the middle of execution, it is enough to expose only 
basic data - rows, numbers and timings. It seems safe to gather.
