This is a misunderstanding.
The m_value data member in HashTable::iterator is a debugging
mechanism, to make debug versions of the software immediately drop
into the debugger in cases where a release version would usually work,
but occasionally fail. It turns hard-to-find subtle bugs with
incorrect use of hash table iterators into bugs you can easily
immediately find.
m_table becomes 0 any time the hash table changes in a way that
invalidates iterators; it has nothing to do with the number of entries
in the table.
