Ok. It was supreme stupidity on my end. Sorry for the time you spent on
it.
Some versions of gcc (and probably other compilers) were removing
sections of code when optimizing because the code was doing undefined
things. Parts of the rdata chain were allocated locally in an
if (needs_key). Which obviously is utterly bogus... A warning would have
been nice though.
Fix pushed and attached.
