Not necessarily - Hashtable is threadsafe IIRC but HashMap isn't (likewise 
for Vector vs ArrayList, etc).

Anyway, the point is that we shouldn't be modifying a collection while 
iterating over it, and we can't depend on the JVM to notice - are there any 
other places in the code where this happens?
