Comment (by jinmei):

 I guess this comment was intended for this ticket, not #2091:
 http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/2091#comment:14

 So I'm copying it here and changing the ticket owner.

 Hello

 The code looks mostly OK, but:
  * The rebasing is not good for reviewing. Since rebasing could have
 changed (or you, because of the conflicts) the old commits, I needed to
 review the whole thing once again.
  * Inspired by what Jinmei mentioned yesterday in Jabber, this (and
 similar ones) looks unsafe:
 {{{#!c++
 if (parent == parent->getParent()->getLeft())
 }}}
    The code checks only that the node is not root, so the parent can be.
 And it could be the root of the top-most tree, in which case the parent
 would be NULL. So parent->getParent() would return NULL and the getLeft
 would segfault. I think this is one of the places where the code assumed
 the link-to-self property of the sentinel.
