Ah, I got tricked by the INSERT, but looking at the htab_find_slot
documentation, indeed, it clearly explains that the data still needs
to be set. I wasn't able to to determine from just reading the code
where we might be creating a dangling pointer.

Right. We just need to dig deeper to figure out what it's not working
for Pierre... I don't think we want to check in his patch where
the xmalloc'ed name does not have a corresponding xfree...

Thanks, Tom.
