Yes — looks like the memory management doesn't necessarily free everything 
immediately; that's what must be causing it to work sometimes.

Ah, you must be on a Mac :)

Done that; seems to work now.

Patch attached — I removed a similarly troublesome _destroy() in another place 
and added unit tests to check this. FWIW, I wasn't able to get it to segfault 
with the threads or properties iterator, even though it should. I suspect 
notmuch's memory management; added the tests just in case.

Cheers,

Lars
