It is not really re-implemented. Rather we use XMLSize_t instead of
unsigned int to hold the result.

You are the first person to mentioned this so I think it is more accurate
to say it is causing problems for some applications (which, BTW, rely on 
something that was never explicitly guaranteed).

If you patch Xerces-C++ to use unsigned int to calculate the hash
value, you will get the old behavior though the hashing may not be
optimal on 64-bit platforms since only 32 bit will be used.
