From an internals perspective, it seems to me it was retaining a handle
to the persona beyond its apparent lifetime.

Well, yes and no.  While the political drivel is annoying, this nuance
of a small bugfix may not be worth discussion.  Certainly it should have
been in the release notes (and I have not looked myself to see that it
is missing), but learning the details does not seem really useful to
those of us who do not have regular access to the source of Rdb.

Perhaps the best lesson learned would be if someone from Rdb would
give the details to VMS Do***entation to see if something about
persona manipulation needs more emphasis in the do***entation.
