In list_by_hash_{bitwise,nibblewise} there is a condition

    if (cmp_bitwise(j->second, end) >= 0) {
      if (next)
        *next = ghobject_t::get_max();
      return 0;
    }

if we set next to max, the caller doesn't break out of the loop and will continue on to iterate over every subsequent subdir in the collection. this can either be very slow or can make the osd suicide.

This was added during a refactor in 921c4586f165ce39c17ef8b579c548dc8f6f4500. I'm pretty sure it should just set *next = j->second instead.

big big thanks to mistur on irc for helping narrow this down.
