Hi Tomi;

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately in my experiments it just
shifts the invalid memory access to a different piece of memory. I think
the problem is that a pointer to the previous copy of that key also
leaked a reference via last_ref, so when we kill that via
g_hash_table_replace it causes the same problem.
