+    KEYS: Fix a NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type
+    
+    Fix a NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type whereby updating a
+    negative key into a fully instantiated key will cause an oops to occur
+    when the code attempts to free the non-existent old payload.
+    
+    This results in an oops that looks something like the following:
