esp_event_loop & ethernet events

When Ethernet is disconnected it appears that the mDNS component will work itself into a blocked state (runs out of TX buffer) a few minutes after disconnection.
The obvious answer seemed to be to call mdns_free() from ETHERNET_EVENT_DISCONNECTED and mdns_init() from ETHERNET_EVENT_CONNECTED
Calling mdns_free() from the event loop causes an exception (always corrupted) however:

I have increased 'sys_evt' stack to same size as main (8K) but no help.
I can call mdns_free() from main though.

What am I missing? What else do I need to increase? Why cannot I call from sys_evt?
PS
It may also help to clarify how an application is supposed to behave with CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED events.
