Fantastic write up of a complex bug, really nice to see the amount of work that went into making the interplay of the various innocent components result in unexpected behavior.

Agreed. I really enjoy reading a good bug story. Every project should document their best bugs this way, as a new kind of folk lore.

This is obsolete. Rust doesn't use this hashmap implementation any more.

Yet the original issue is still open: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/36481

Looks like nobody bothered to close it. These things happen in bug trackers.
