This issue seems different than the one got fixed in this thread. The
reason for this issue is that the size of the hashm_mapp in
HashMetaPageData is 4096, irrespective of the block size. So when the
block size is big enough (i.e. 8192) then there is no problem, but
when you set it to 4096, in that case, the hashm_mapp of the meta page
is overwriting the special space of the meta page. That's the reason
its showing corrupted page while checking the hash_page.
