From a mathematical viewpoint one can almost never say never. While I believe 
that this time a lot of things are fixed, I can not say that nothing unexpected 
can happen. All I can say is that the structure is now the same on 32 bit and 
on 64 bit. I still have not attempted to fix that endianess of the Hash driver. 
I have added the functions to handle the endianess but have not wired them into 
Hash driver.

Getting that 32/64 bit thing to work is a big task. In it's core it is easy but 
you can not fix that problem only for the Hash driver. All DSPAM storage 
drivers share a certain core and when you touch/change that core then all 
storage drivers needs to be changed too. I am still in the middle of 
stabilizing the side effect of my changes.

At the beginning I was thinking: Easy. Just fix that 32/64 bit issue and that's 
it. But doing this is everything else than a low hanging fruit. Every storage 
driver has his own issues. Some use signed integers while other can not, 
etc....
