When hacking on HashMap, one always needs to keep LinkedHashMap in the back of one's mind.
If you use removeEldestEntry then the occupancy can never get beyond some limit. It may be weird to have elements that are part of a putAll being removed during the call to putAll. There's already a call to resize causing the backing array to grow in this (very corner) case, so it's arguably not introducing new weird behavior. If removeEldestEntry is overridden then ideally you would only grow by doubling, but it's such a corner case this may not be worth doing.
