+Subject: [PATCH] Fix race condition on UpgradeData.BlockFixers class init
+
+The CHUNKY_FIXERS field is modified during the constructors
+of the BlockFixers, but the code that uses CHUNKY_FIXERS does
+not properly ensure that BlockFixers has been initialised before
+using it, leading to a possible race condition where instances of
+BlockFixers are accessed before they have initialised correctly.
+
+We can force the class to initialise fully before accessing the
+field by calling any method on the class, and for convenience
+we use values().
