Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:

I agree with Raymond and Tim here: while it's inevitably true that there are 
many possible hash collisions, we'd need to see where the current algorithm 
caused real problems in real code. Pointing out a few examples where there was 
a collision isn't very helpful.

So, jdemeyer, if it's possible to show (or describe) to us an example of a 
problem you had, such that we could repeat it, that would be helpful (and 
necessary) to evaluate any proposed changes.  What were the inputs to hash() 
that caused a problem, and how did that problem manifest itself?
