    ## blocks that form a chain back to the tail block.

    ## We assume that the database backend is working / not corrupt - as such,
    ## we will raise a Defect any time there is an issue. This should be
    ## revisited in the future, when/if the calling code safely can handle
    ## corruption of this kind.
    ##
    ## We do however make an effort not to crash on invalid data inside the
    ## database - this may have a number of "natural" causes such as switching
    ## between different versions of the client and accidentally using an old
    ## database.
