Re: Non-Deterministic / Unpredictable Behavior (Again) [SOLVED]

At the risk of making clear why I lurk more than participate, why did not
overriding hashcode in this instance (where the default equals is used)
introduce non-deterministic behavior?

Congrats on finding the issue - these types of problems are particularly
satisfying to solve, aren't they?
