I tried that, but we also use the resource references before the
resource system is started even in non-bootstrap mode. Maybe we should
be creating a resource owner for this, but it is so early in the boot
process I don't know if that is safe.

It turns out what we were missing was a clear of state->resowner in
cases where the resowner was null. I removed the bzero calls completely
and it now runs fine.

Do we even need them?

I think that is now fixed too. Updated patch at the same URL:
