Why? A fixed size array is used for sensitive_data.keys and the elements
are initially all NULL. The code that walks through the array skips an
elements that are NULL, and (if I recall correctly) each element is set
back to NULL after the key is used.

I tested this before the original post, and it worked correctly.
