Details

If Parent makes RPC call rp, and Child calls rc, and rp and rc happen to race, then Child "wins" the race and defers rp until Parent has processed rc.  Currently there's a bug in which the Child starts processing rp *just after* receiving the reply to rc, but before delivering the reply to the caller of rc.  Instead, Child should defer rp until after it delivers the reply to rc (returns to the caller).
