Re: Tool-bar changes

[Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>]

Here's my explanation for the bug:

Each time Emacs starts up, main() calls init_fns(), which sets
weak_hash_tables to NULL.  This means that any weak hash tables that
were loaded into memory by temacs are orphaned, and can't be found by
sweep_weak_hash_tables.

So the solution is to make a new function, init_weak_hash_tables,
analogous to init_float etc., and call it from init_alloc_once.  The
following patch accomplishes this.  WDYT?
