+Bugfix: Fix crash after waking the computer from sleep
+
+We've fixed a crash that could occur about a second after the computer resumed
+from sleep or hibernation. A network reply's internal transfer-timeout timer
+could deliver a queued call to a reply that had already been deleted during the
+reconnect handling, causing a use-after-free. Replies are now drained of any
+pending events before they are deleted.
