It isn't clear to me that this is definitively a Classpath bug.  Who's
to say there isn't currently-working code out there that does the
opposite?  The JDK docs certainly don't specify this sort of thing.

I think it would be easy to change ant to be robust in the face of any
implementation of Hashtable.


What version of ant is this?  I don't see this file in the ant in rhug
(1.5).
