Deryck, Rick,

Thanks for the effort in helping move forward with this. I'm very happy
we're going back to the single YUI instance for now, to save introducing
more tech debt. I'm also happy there was a legitimate issue since that
means I wasn't going crazy. Yes, the cases I was working on all involved
more than 2 YUI instances and so there was no other simply implemented,
"easy" solution apart from global events.

FYI, here's some bugs which I know (and in one case only suspect) are
related to the issue in this thread and which can be linked to your branch:

923619
923973
922462 (I'll keep this one and will update my branch once your stuff lands).

I had also assigned myself to 923619. I'll take my name off that one.
