I thought a bit more about this and I think the right thing to do here
is making both css_offline and css_free follow the ancestry order.
I'll post a patch to do that soon.  offline is called at the head of
destruction when the css is made invisble and draining of existing
refs starts.  free at the end of that process.  Tree ordering
shouldn't be where the two differ.

Thanks.
