Dave,

Note: Only compile tested.

CBQ destroys its classes by traversing the hashtable and thus classes
are not destroyed from root to leafs which means that class Y being
a subclass of class X may be destroyed before X. This is a problem
if a filter is attached to class X (parent) classifying into class Y
(result). In case Y gets deleted before X the filter references an
already deleted class while trying to unbind (cbq_unbind_filter).
Therefore all filters must be destroyed before destroying classes. An
additional BUG_TRAP has been added to document this not so obvious case.
