When collecting old nodes for destruction, the dead range check uses
tmp_next->index and tmp_next->last, which implicitly dereferences
tmp_next[0] rather than the intended dead range. This means children
at indices n=1 or n=2 are compared against the first child's state
instead of the replacement range [mas->index, mas->last].

This currently produces correct results by coincidence -- mas_find_child()
copies the parent state and mas_descend() preserves index/last, so the
values always equal mas->index/last. Fix it to use the canonical source
directly, as documented: "Nodes within [index, last] are dead subtrees".

NACK

I'd rather reference the same struct if we're going to fix this and I'm
not wasting more time on any patches from objecting.
