If there are multiple child nodes (which the code above is looping 
over), and the hog for entries 0, 1, 2 succeed and the hog for entry 3 
fails, don't you need to go back and unhog for nodes 0..2 so that the 
next time this function is called, those hogs won't already be in place 
thus preventing them from being hogged the second time around? Or does 
hogging not take ownership of the resource and thus prevent it from 
being acquired again?
