Sorry, my fault -- indeed maphash 'supports' irregular mutation in the sense 
that it shouldn't crash or corrupt Emacs if the rules are violated. I can't 
reproduce the reported crash(es) on my platform but is my understanding correct 
that no other uses of DOHASH caused any trouble?

This patch reverts my last change to Fmaphash and yours to DOHASH. It's 
perfectly fine to forego DOHASH in Fmaphash, it's chums with the hash-table 
implementation. Assuming that the problems were confined to Fmaphash, this 
should be safe to apply.

What I certainly would accept is an assertion in DOHASH that verifies the 
assumptions but doesn't result in any code at all with checking disabled. I'll 
add that if you think it's warranted (and maybe even if you don't).
