.PP
Unsynchronized accesses to a weak hash table may lead to an invalid
weak hash table state\&. Thus, concurrent accesses to a buffer must be
synchronized (for instance with a 
.ft B
Mutex\&.t
.ft R
)\&.

These hash tables are weak in the keys\&. If all the keys of a binding are
alive the binding is kept, but if one of the keys of the binding
is dead then the binding is removed\&.
