Yep, it was my own stupid fault. I failed to realize that a typo in the string arg to Name.fromString was producing a null Name. It was a static final property on my class and I trusted it. Thanks for that.

Please read the source code of IdentityLinearHashtable.java (source code sent in a private email). You are probably invoking get or put or remove with a null key. With assertion checking turned off, your code seems to work fine because System.identityHashCode returns 0 for a null reference.
