I have my own parallel start/destroy test case that I ran during development
of the threading code to test it. It caught quite a few bugs, and I had it
run 8 threads for approximately 80,000  start/stops in total. I'm not seeing
any errors running it with current GIT though.

I've also tested your demo program with 8 threads / VMs, and it succeeeded
without any problems.

Appending my demo program - you don't need to do any setup to run it,
it will auto-create the storage & use transient guests
