WeakTable with java gc problem

[maxjiang153]

WeakTable uses java.lang.ref.WeakReference to reference key and value, when java gc occurs, WeakReference data will be released, causing lua data loss.

example code:

import org.luaj.vm2.LuaString;
import org.luaj.vm2.LuaTable;
import org.luaj.vm2.LuaValue;
import org.luaj.vm2.WeakTable;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    LuaTable weakTable = WeakTable.make(false, true);

    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
      LuaString key = LuaValue.valueOf("test key" + i);

      weakTable.set(key, WeakTable.make(false, true));
      System.out.println("before gc:");
      System.out.println(weakTable.get(key));  // got table 
      System.gc();
      System.out.println("after gc:");
      System.out.println(weakTable.get(key));   // got null
    }
  }

}

After java gc the WeakSlot key and value will be null. and LuaTable rehash will throw NPE when calc key hash

Is this normal?
