#10 JDBMHashtable.dispose() does not work properly

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm using the JDBMHashtable and its of great help
to me. Thanks!

There is a problem with JDBMHashtable.dispose().

If I dispose a hashtable and immediately afterwards ask
for a new hashtable from the recordmanager, the
disposed table is returned with all its old contents.

This is quite a big problem since the only other way to
empty a hashtable would be do iterate over all its
elements and delete them separately.

I confirm this is a problem with version 0.12 (which I
assume you are using) and even with the current CVS version.
There is no way to dispose of the Hashtable/HTree structure.

I can fix it in the current CVS version. Do you need this
to be back-ported to version 0.12 or can you upgrade to the
CVS version?
