Hi Sven, Instead of: stonProcessSubObjects: block | didContainStonReferenceAsKey | didContainStonReferenceAsKey := self stonProcessSubObjects: block super stonProcessSubObjects: block. self isHealthy ifFalse: [ self rehash ].. super stonProcessSubObjects: block. didContainStonReferenceAsKey ifTrue: [ self rehash ] One can do: stonProcessSubObjects: block super stonProcessSubObjects: block. self isHealthy ifFalse: [ self rehash ]. And this could also be moved to HashedCollection as a generic solution for any hash based collection. Moving it there would require implementing #isHealthy as a subclass responsibility. (all current subclasses (Set, Dictionary) implements it). What do you think?

Like I said, it is a hashing issue, sometimes it will be correct by accident.
I hope you did not have to much trouble with this bug, I guess it must have been hard to chase.
Is it urgent ?
I probably can give you a quick fix, but I would like to think a bit more about this, since rehashing each materialised dictionary seems expensive.
Hi Sven,
I got the same kind of problem in a personal application.
I use Sets that I serialize and I had a lot of trouble because sometimes some action had strange behaviours.
For example in a set with element `aSet remove: aSet anyOne` raised 'XXX not found in aSet'.
I am glad to hear that it is a Ston issue and not me that used sets in a bad way :)
For me too it is not urgent since I have a not of university work for the moment.
How are hashed collections created/filled during ston-parsing ? If the position in a hashed collection is created by a ston-reference, that is later replaced by the "real" object, the index in the dictionary (or other hashed collections) may be wrong.
Yes, that is indeed it, Nicolai.
But I would like to try to minimise the rehashing as it seems expensive. But first I need a more reliable failure.
