RE: Hashtable enumeration

[Patrick Doyle]

Michal-

  I'm sorry for bringing this into a public form.  That was very
unwise and unfair, as were my comments.  Let me just respond to a few
points...

What am I supposed to do with this information?  Search the archives for
all the patches you have ever submitted?

My appologies.  I had forgotten about that.

My objective was to find bugs in my JVM, not play games fixing bugs in
Classpath that someone else has already fixed.  It would be a frustrating
duplication of effort.  My ugly hack involving cloning the Enumeration was
much quicker, and it was guaranteed to work.

Absolutely.  You're right of course.  I suspect that pride will not allow
either of us to take this to private email, but let's at least try to wrap
it up as soon as possible.  :-)
