Hi Franz, The hashtable should behave correctly (that is, not continue iteration from the next bucket) with regards to a 'break' inside the loop, this issue was raised previously during one of the RFCs and has been dealt with before the merge of the hashtable into the kernel.
Do you see a case where it behaves incorrectly? can you share your code which does that?
