[tarantool-patches] [PATCH] Fix rechaining of pseudo-resurrected string keys.

[Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>]

From: Mike Pall <mike>

This is a serious bug. But extremely hard to reproduce, so it went
undetected for 8 years. One needs two resurrections with different
main nodes, which are both in a hash chain which gets relinked on
key insertion where the colliding node is in a non-main position. Phew.

Thanks to lbeiming.
