There was a problem hiding this comment.
This could use some comments saying what this block of code is intending to actually do; not obvious right now.

This fixes a subtle bug involving block re-orgs and non-standard transactions. Start with a block containing a non-standard transaction, and one or more transactions spending it in the memory pool. Then re-org away from that block to another chain that does not contain the non-standard transaction. Result before this fix: the dependent transactions get stuck in the mempool without their parent, putting the mempool in an inconsistent state. Tested with a new unit test.

I was observed two crashes in 0.10rc1, each 24 hours apart with checkmempool=1 (and a non-default fee policy) during reorgs that appeared to be likely due to the bug this fixes. I've now run three days with this pull applied and no crashes, and there have been several reorgs during that time. |

Start with a block containing a non-standard transaction, and
one or more transactions spending it in the memory pool.
Then re-org away from that block to another chain that does
not contain the non-standard transaction.
Result before this fix: the dependent transactions get stuck
in the mempool without their parent, putting the mempool
in an inconsistent state.
Tested with a new unit test.
Thanks to Alex Morcos for finding the bug.
