Do we need the re-addition of the open method to fix the ltp test
case?  I kinda hate it, but if that is what it takes:

I don't think its needed but I kept it because your following comment in the

suggested change says " switch the state to roundown here to prevent new
openers from coming in":

Let's keep it.  I meant to say new I/O coming in, but letting a new opener
come in and then fail I/O isn't really nice behavior.

Thanks Christoph.
