My immediate observation here is that blocks 2 and 9 have identical
metadata (from their page opaque area), but partially non-matching
data items (however, the number of items on each block is consistent
and correct according to that metadata, as far as it goes). I think
block 9 is supposed to have a right-link to block 5 (block 5 seems to
think so, at least -- its left link is 9).
So now the question is: how did that inconsistency arise? It didn't
necessarily arise at the time of the (presumed) split of block 2 to
create 9. It could be that the opaque area was changed by something
else, some time later. I'll investigate more.
