I can only provide one thought against this solution: what if we have a 
lot of unique hash values, maybe all of them? In that case, we still 
have a kind of 'leak' David fixed by the commit 0b053e78b5.
Also, I have a segfault report of one client. As I see, it was caused by 
too long text column in the table slot. As I see, key value, stored in 
the Memoize hash table, was corrupted, and the most plain reason is this 
bug. Should we add a test on this bug, and what do you think about the 
one proposed in v3?
