Sorry. My last message had a bogus reply address (bwatson@sandbass.cpqcorp.net). 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 Brian.J.Watson@compaq.com. Please copy me if you have comments about my adaptation of
Richard's generic hash implementation.
