Well, the first of those looks like it'd be for, basically, replacing
the entire hash table.  And the second... I'm not sure what that's
about.  What is the point in replacing a key with an identical key?
(Neither of these are in 1.2, in any event.)

Anyway, I'm wondering if I can get a *definitive* answer on this.  We
have somebody insisting, based on that Ximian piece, that the way I
presented of replacing the value for a key will result in duplicate
keys and, effectively, a memory leak.  Which, again, is not what the
API docs say.


Thanks,
Jim
