That's the line that's the problem. It seems to find the other routines
that it needs from the hash table, but this seems to be the culprit in
both v6.2.1, and the 6.3beta that I'm trying.

I spent a good day working on finding the problem, and found that this was
where it lied. Further study showed it was in hash_getnext, but I didn't
have time to debug hash_getnext.
