Subject: [PATCH] Ticket 49436 - double free in COS in some conditions

Bug Description:  virtualattrs and COS have some serious memory
ownership issues. What was happening is that COS with multiple
attributes using the same sp_handle would cause a structure
to be registered twice. During shutdown we would then trigger
a double free in the process.

Fix Description:  Change the behaviour of sp_handles to use a
handle *per* attribute we register to guarantee the assocation
between them.
