Aw crap, I messed that up in SRFI-126.  It defines alist->*hashtable
through the simplistic snippet

  (let ((ht (make-*hashtable ...)))
    (for-each (lambda (entry)
                (hashtable-set! ht (car entry) (cdr entry)))
              alist)
    ht)

which means the last key in the alist wins.

How do I atone for this?  There is no official errata process for SRFIs,
is there?  It's a nontrivial change, too.
