indeed.

unfortunately, right now both win32 and rh9-gnu-linux builds fail with
the same error:

w32:

        "d:\gnu\emacs\src/obj-spd/i386/temacs.exe" -batch -l loadup dump
emacs: Invalid hash table rehash size: 0.0

linux:

...
emacs: Invalid hash table rehash size: 1.12341E-311

I do not have the linux error message in front of me, but the gist is
that the rehash size was not initialized.
linux sets the un-initialized double float with junk (that's where e-300
is coming from) while w32 sets it to 0.
but the bottom line is that the rehash size is un-initialized.
