#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This test case demonstrates a flaw in the wal-index manipulation that
# existed at one point: If a process crashes mid-transaction, it may have
# already added some entries to one of the hash-tables in the wal-index.
# If the transaction were to be explicitly rolled back at this point, the
# hash-table entries would be removed as part of the rollback. However,
# if the process crashes, the transaction is implicitly rolled back and
# the rogue entries remain in the hash table.
#
# Normally, this causes no problem - readers can tell the difference 
# between committed and uncommitted entries in the hash table. However,
# if it happens often enough that all slots in the hash-table become 
# non-zero, the next process that attempts to read or write the hash
# table falls into an infinite loop.
#
# Even if run with an SQLite version affected by the bug, this test case
# only goes into an infinite loop if SQLite is compiled without SQLITE_DEBUG
# defined. If SQLITE_DEBUG is defined, the program is halted by a failing
# assert() before entering the infinite loop.
#
# walcrash2-1.1: Create a database. Commit a transaction that adds 8 frames
#                to the WAL (and 8 entry to the first hash-table in the 
#                wal-index).
#
# walcrash2-1.2: Have an external process open a transaction, add 8 entries
#                to the wal-index hash-table, then crash. Repeat this 1023
#                times (so that the wal-index contains 8192 entries - all
#                slots are non-zero).
#
# walcrash2-1.3: Using a new database connection, attempt to query the 
#                database. This should cause the process to go into the
#                infinite loop.
