Looks good to me. One other corner case in the version of the patch I
was working on was that nbuckets is compared to num_partitions, which is
a long. We can assert that it is less than or equal to INT_MAX in
hash_create.

Aside from that, I'll drop my version of the patch, which doesn't have
any useful differences from yours.
