Potential Initialization Bug in B+Tree Node Splitting

Report

In db.c:683-689, there's a potential logical error:

if (get_node_type(root) == NODE_INTERNAL) { initialize_internal_node(right_child); initialize_internal_node(left_child); // This initialization is lost } /* Left child has data copied from old root */ memcpy(left_child, root, PAGE_SIZE); // Overwrites the initialization

The initialize_internal_node(left_child) call is wasted because the subsequent memcpy completely overwrites left_child.
