Okay, the shortest sequence to make it crash is:

enable
bts 0 oml ....
enable <- first go to parent with delete
enable <- second go to parent... double delete

we also have a similiar issue with the subscriber_put in the exit function...
the only fix I can think of is to move every node that frees data before the
CONFIG_NODE so we will not have the "auto fixup" code of VTY.
