Hi,
you're making it look worse than it really is:
$ ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.12.0
# Hashtbl.hash 1000000001;;
- : int = 1000000001
# Hashtbl.hash 1073741824;;
- : int = 0
# Hashtbl.hash 1073741825;;
- : int = 1
# Hashtbl.hash 1073741826;;
- : int = 2
# Hashtbl.hash 1073741829;;
- : int = 5
# Hashtbl.hash 1073741830;;
- : int = 6
# Hashtbl.hash 9007199254740994;;
- : int = 2
# Hashtbl.hash 9007199254740990;;
- : int = 1073741822
