> SerializingCache.get looks like this:
> {code}
>     public V get(Object key)
>     {
>         FreeableMemory mem = map.get(key);
>         if (mem == null)
>             return null;
>         return deserialize(mem);
>     }
> {code}
> If a cache object is evicted or replaced after the get happens, but before deserialize completes, we will trigger an assertion failure (if asserts are enabled) or segfault (if they are not).
