I don't think that test is correct: nodes in the hash chain can be in both the 
"addressable" and "non-addressable" region, it's just that you don't use the 
addressable region unless there is no more space in the "non-addressable" 
region. The scan for a free table entry starts at the last entry but can reach 
all the way to the first table entry not just the first entry in the 
non-addressable region.
