Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
A type alias can be evaluated again before an earlier evaluation finishes, either recursively or in another thread. The later completion overwrites the cached value without releasing it, permanently leaking that value; synchronize cache access and release the replaced value outside the lock. Backport to 3.15 and 3.14.
(cherry picked from commit d36a3f6)
