I'm sure the new pack algorithm is immune to this. It would be
helpful to design a test case to try to provoke this.
I fear, we can not obtain full immunity at all -- unless we perform
packing offline (after having shut down the storage) or use quite
tight synchronization between packing and normal operations.
Otherwise, resurrection can happen while we are packing -- depending
on how far packing has already proceeded, the resurrection would
need to copy the resurrected objects into its own transaction
rather than simply reference them.
I guess that's true. Someone could restore a historical version that
packing would remove, adding references. I'll have to think about this.
