This is overkill. If the current hash function isn't good enough,
running stuff through it twice isn't going to help. I posit that the
results are good enough now, since the default implementation isn't
meant to be cryptographically secure, let alone unattackable. Spending
more time grinding on the same set of bits isn't going to make a badly
designed application any more robust.
