Sorry. My last message had a bogus reply address ([e-mail]). I'm used to using Netscape mail, but since Netscape has no good
way to send inline patches unscathed, I used the mail command. I forgot that mail wouldn't know to use my correct reply address, and instead
would use the account name on my laptop.

To make a long story short, my correct reply address is [e-mail]. Please copy me if you have comments about my adaptation of
Richard's generic hash implementation.
