`table' is an array.  `table.length' is set when the array is created.

Of course.  Sorry about this.  I'll write a test suite for
IdentityHashMap soon -- something I should have done on day 1.

Meanwhile I think we really need:

    h = Math.abs (2 * (System.identityHashCode (key) % (table.length / 2)));

Conceptually table is an array of length L where each entry is a
key/value pair.  We want to compute the index based on the conceptual
length, and then double that.
