From 39caa0916ef27cf1da5026eb708a2b8413156f75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joern Engel Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 14:21:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] btree: catch NULL value before it does harm Storing NULL values in the btree is illegal and can lead to memory corruption and possible other fun as well. Catch it on insert, instead of waiting for the inevitable.
