#'clrhash always returns nil

[Aidan Kehoe]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit)
 of 2004-03-22 on cm-test
configured using `configure  --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sysconfdir=/etc 
--libexecdir=/usr/sbin --localstatedir=/var --datadir=/usr/share 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --without-toolkit-scroll-bars'

  value of $LC_TIME: nil

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In this emacs: 
  
  (clrhash (make-hash-table))
  => nil
 
In Common Lisp, as documented here: 
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_clrhas.htm#clrhash

  (clrhash (make-hash-table))
  => #<EQL hash-table with 0 entries @ #x71735f42>

In XEmacs: 

  (clrhash (make-hash-table))
  => #<hash-table size 0/29 0x54e994>
  
Is the GNU behaviour an oversight? It seems needlessly incompatible.
