That works, but why would you care?
Why don't you just register the hash value and NOT CARE.
Leave it all to later when the trace gets analyzed.
Leave it be. The normal situation is presumably going to be that
millions of stack traces will be generated, and nobody will even look
at them.

No. And what's the point? I just told you that unmap doesn't matter.
All that matters is mmap.
Don't try to "reuse" hashes. Just treat them as opaque numbers.
