File be/src/runtime/sorter.cc:

Line 894:       // Also attach the var-len blocks at eos, since we no longer 
need them.
> why was this needed given block at line 867?
That's the false assumption that lead to the bug.

Consider the case when we have a single in-memory run, and we sorted it 
in-place. Then the var-len data is out-of-order relative to the fixed-len data. 
Any fixed-len tuple can reference any var-len block, so we can't delete var-len 
blocks as we go.

In that case CONVERT_OFFSET_TO_PTR is (correctly) false and line 867 is 
(correctly) never executed.
