Here is what we used to determine whether the fix works or not:
class A { int __hash() { return 0; } }; object t = thread_create(lambda() { mapping m = ([ ]); while(1) m[A()] = 1; });
Wait for a few seconds and see whether the Pike crashes or not. If not it will continue to eat memory but that's expected from the infinite loop.
