The copy constructor copied node_index_map_, a std::map<const ParasiticNode*, size_t, ParasiticNodeLess>. Copying the map reconstructs its red-black tree, which invokes the ParasiticNodeLess comparator and dereferences the ParasiticNode* keys. When a delay calculator is cloned for parallel delay calculation (GraphDelayCalc::findDelays -> FindVertexDelays -> ArcDelayCalc::copy), the source map can hold pointers to ParasiticNodes that were already freed because the net's parasitic network was rebuilt (e.g. during resizer repair). Dereferencing those freed keys is a heap-use-after-free. node_index_map_ is transient state: findNodeCount() clears and rebuilds it from the current parasitic network before any read, and the primary constructor leaves it default-constructed. Copying it is therefore both unnecessary and the sole source of the dangling-pointer dereference, so leave it default-constructed in the copy constructor as well.
