The fix isn't the do-while loop but rather the use after free, the
incorrect sizeof, and incorrect error handling when
initialize_relocation_hashtable fails. I decided to include the do-while
code because I was already touching the surrounding code. Can you review
[1]? If you would prefer that the do-while is reverted, I can do that,
but it is important that the rest of the fixes are merged before 6.7 is
released.
