So, previously, the copied header shares them same withdrawalsHash pointer with the original one?

Yes, it did not surface as a problem, since its only ever read in rlpHash, but still kinda unsafe I think

Sure, we should fix it

First this looked wrong to me, so had to dig a bit.

After the cpy=*h, the cpy and the h have a pointer to the same hash.
The cpy have one pointer, the h have another pointer, and both pointers have the same value. At this point, we know it's not the nil-value.

Previously, we deferred the cpy pointer-value, and overwrote it with the contents of the h pointer value. Which seems to have been a complete no-op, as far as I can tell.

So yeah, I totally agree.

*cpy.WithdrawalsHash = *h.WithdrawalsHash
}
return &cpy
