java.util.Hashtable(int, float) doesn't throw an IllegalArgumentExcetion
in case the initialCapacity equals to zero.

(see JavaDoc Comment )
"public Hashtable(int initialCapacity,
                  float loadFactor)
.....................................
      Throws: IllegalArgumentException
            if the initial capacity is less than or equal to zero, <....>"

The bug has been introduced into JDK1.2beta3-A release.

JCK114Á test tests/api/java_util/Hashtable/HahstableTests.html#HashtableTests61
fails due to this bug.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:
-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.util.*;

class Test {
 public static void main(String[] argv) {
   try {
    Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable( 0, 0.5f);
    System.out.println(" Failed : IllegalArgumentException has not been thrown");
   } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
    System.out.println(" Passed : OKAY ");
   }
 }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------

 Failed : IllegalArgumentException has not been thrown
 
--------------------------------------------------
