The only reason I can think about is that there is some bug in The King hash
table management. Or some strange design decision. That's what you say suggests
to me, but I must add immediately that given the quality of Johan's work I don't
really believe that it is the case.
Anyway maybe it would be better if Johan could tell us what to do (and if
possible, why).
