Comment (by jinmei):

 Additional info: the reason for this seems that node->getRRset() is NULL
 (shared pointer) in this context:
 {{{
 inline void
 HotCacheImpl::insert(const CacheNodePtr node) {
     LOG_DEBUG(logger, DBG_TRACE_DATA, DATASRC_CACHE_INSERT).
         arg(node->getRRset()->getName());
 }}}

 This can be confirmed more explicitly by adding an assert():
 {{{
     assert(node->getRRset());
     LOG_DEBUG(logger, DBG_TRACE_DATA, DATASRC_CACHE_INSERT).
         arg(node->getRRset()->getName());
 }}}

 Fixing this is probably is easy, but I suspect we should learn a bit
 more than the immediate lesson from this incident:

 - We should be more careful about logging argument so that it wouldn't
   cause server crash.  Even in the worst case we should catch
   unexpected case more gracefully by throwing an exception.
 - We should use highest possible verbosity for logging in our unit
   tests.

 I'll create separate tickets for these two.
