One of our users reported that Evo worked well on his Sparc64 machine,
but crashed every time he exited the app.  He sent a stack trace with
symbols (http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/evo_crash1.txt).  What seems
to happen here is that the uid is looked up in the hashtable, but a bad
oldkey is returned with a count of 0.  Since count is not one, it tries
to update the count (decrement the ref count maybe?), but the key is
bad, so we crash.  

I had him add a check to make sure n > 0, and that crash was fixed, but
another (similar) one crept up
(http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/evo_crash2.txt).  The same thing
happens here (n == 0).  I applied the same patch, and the crashes went
away.  Is this patch correct
(http://rainbow-runner.nl/~kwm/patch-camel_camel-vee-folder.c) or is
this just a nasty hack-around?  If a bad hack, does anyone have any idea
how this could happen, or anywhere else I could look to find a better
solution?  Thanks.

Joe
