Hibernate version: 3.0 alpha

Name and version of the database you are using: hsql 1.7.2.4

I have a one-to-many association setup as a lazy map. Works great except for one bit of strangeness. When I perform a left join fetch on the map, and there are no child results, the map is not flagged as initialized. So I get a second select statement when the map is accessed later.

This can cause a problem if I don't use some back-up code to force initialization (session closed, lazy initialization exception).

A left join fetch with results works as expected, the map is flagged as initialized.

I can create an isolated test case if needed. There is currently too much application code to really show the problem as is; it would be very noisy.

Yes, i need a test case for this in JIRA. This should work, so apparently something is broken!
