The test reveals that many upper bits are the same without the latest patch. With my latest patch, I get that fixed (i.e. the final hash is perturbed a lot better). So, I think I should apply it. PS. Because we are starting from the same starting point (the seed), it is not surprising that it takes a bit more to perturb the final hash better. The *33 is essentially <<5 + original value. So, it takes a few more cycles to get all 32 bits (my platform's unsigned int) perturbed. -- Bojan
