Hartmut, where do you have these numbers from - they are plainly
wrong.

Harold, please don't post to both comp.text.tex (twice) and to this
e-mail list - you are wasting people's time that way. As 
Ulrike Fisher answered: The current hash_size is (hard-coded) to
60.000 - please update your MiKTeX. If 60.000 still isn't enough,
you could add another request to this bug report:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=917952&group_id=10783&atid=110783>

(I assume "[hash size=3500]" was a typo and you meant 
"[hash size=35000]".)
