Thanks! I have no idea how the (hash-table-size <any-hash-table>) ever
returned nil in Lispworks (1.6.0.01). Besides size, I logged out all
parameters restored for the saved hash table. They read as follows:

[DEBUG] : rehash-size = NIL
[DEBUG] : rehash-threshold = 7
[DEBUG] : size = NIL
[DEBUG] : test = EQL
[DEBUG] : count = 601

rehash-size and rehash-threshold are both wrong, too. If I make an empty
hash table, the Lispworks gives size=37, rehash-size=2.0,
rehash-threshold=1.0 - surely they got them all right.

You can see that my hash table got 601 entries. I indeed got them all
restored using your workaround idea. Still not sure how those bad parameter
values got stored in the first place.

Pointing me to the source code is a great help. Many thanks again!
