This tells us the stale pointer was most likely found in a hash table,
with 26 elements.  Can you please run x/64gx 0x3aa1ac0 so we can be sure
of this?

Unfortunately, most likely, all that is going to tell us the basic types
of the keys and values in the hash table, and we're then going to have
to investigate the surviving keys and values to get a clue as to what
the hash table might have been.  Unless someone can think of a better
way?

Thanks again!

Pip
