I also was under the impression that BTRFS was still somewhat alpha/beta quality but then again Fedora seems to have switched to it.

If so we trigger a code path that we never tested. An extra memset makes sure the value pointer is NULL and no longer is freed. I'm bitten by the Bacula allocator who puts 0x55555 in the pointer.
