iteration on hashtable spawning new threads

1
Hello i have a very annoying problem when trying to use a foreach loop on my hashtable, sometimes i get the same object twice, and i really can't figure out why, i hope someone can tell me what i am doing wrong

Hashtable tmp = Hashtable.Synchronized((Hashtable) mirrorContains[searchstring]);
foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in tmp)
{
new Thread(delegate() { commit(entry, searchstring); }).Start();
}
private void commit(DictionaryEntry entry, string searchstring)
{
MirrorInfo minfo = (MirrorInfo) entry.Key;
System.Console.WriteLine(minfo.Name);
}

problem is that the the dictionaryentry passed to the commit method sometimes refers to the same object, which shouldn't be possible on a synchronized hashtable, problem is the error is not very easy to reproduce as it only happens sometimes, i hope someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong

Regards
Martin

Could you provide a bit more information on what the program is doing exactly?
How are threads part of it?
