Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix tdelete to properly balance the tree
Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2015 21:02:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151205200234.GU23362@port70.net> (raw)

the tsearch data structure is an avl tree, but it did not implement
the deletion operation correctly so the tree could become unbalanced.

reported by Ed Schouten.
