+  When updating a table with virtual BLOB columns, the following might happen:

+  - update_virtual_fields() is run, vcol blob gets its value into the
+    record. But only a pointer to the value is in the table->record[0],
+    the value is in Field_blob::value String (or, it can be elsewhere!)

+  - fill_record() prepares new values in record[0], vcol blob is updated,
+    new value replaces the old one in the Field_blob::value
+  - now both record[1] and record[0] have a pointer that points to the
+    *new* vcol blob value. Or record[1] has a pointer to nowhere if
+    Field_blob::value had to realloc.
+
+  To resolve this we unlink vcol blobs from the pointer to the
+  data (in the record[1]). The orphan memory must be freed manually
+  (but, again, only if it was owned by Field_blob::value String).
+
+  With REPLACE and INSERT ... ON DUP KEY UPATE it's even more complex.
+  There is no store_record(table,record[1]), instead the row is read
