GHashTable ( Missing something ?)

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

Folks, I am doing a lookup on a hastable, and it always returns NULL, even
though the key exist -- (Now, I know it's is friday, but I have not started
drinking yet :P) -- Note that the GEqualFunc is never called.

---- <code> --------------------

gboolean my_str_compare(char* k, char* k2){
    fprintf(stderr,"Comparing k=[%s] with k2=[%s]\n", k, k2);
    //return g_str_equal((gpointer)k,(gpointer)k2);
    return strcmp(k,k2) == 0;
}


void dump(gpointer pkey, gpointer entry, gpointer _null)
{
    CfgEntry* e = (CfgEntry*) entry;

    fprintf(stderr, "DUMP key(p)=%s, val=%s, d=%s\n", (char*)pkey, e->val,
e->desc);

    fprintf(stderr, "DUMP key=%s, val=%s, d=%s\n", e->key, e->val, e->desc);
}


CfgEntry* cfg_get_entry(const char* key){
    g_return_val_if_fail(key != NULL, NULL);
    fprintf(stderr, "Looking for passed in key: %s\n", key);
    g_hash_table_foreach(table, dump, NULL);
    return g_hash_table_lookup(table, key);
}


My Hastable is created with:


 g_hash_table_netable = g_hash_table_new_full(g_str_hash,
(GEqualFunc)my_str_compare, NULL, (GDestroyNotify)cfg_entry_unref );

--------------- </code> -----------------------


 ----------- <output> ---------------
Looking for passed in key: My_key
DUMP key(p)=MY_key, val=value for the key, d=#description for this entry
DUMP key=MY_key, val=value for the key, d=#description for this entry
Did not find entry for key

-------------- </output>----------------------


 NOTE that the my_str_compare is never called.

 What the heck am I missing here ?

 Perhaps I need a break from the keyboard.. 

 Thanks for any help.
