 No, but it still doesn't work for me, in spite of what this email said
(top_srcdir is still wrong, it tries to look in "../$HOME/src/swig" instead
of just "$HOME/src/swig"). I never replied to that thread because I wanted
to debug it to understand why did it work for you but not for me but
finally never had time to do it. I'll try to look at it again...

 Yes, even now I don't really know how to produce one that would fail with
the old code reliably as it depends not only on the order of the elements
in the hash table initially but also on where the new elements are inserted
in it. This is why this bug was so nasty, too, as it appeared and went away
seemingly randomly in our code as completely unrelated things were
modified.
