Possible race-conditions in hashCode of the range classes
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-481
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-481
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Boris
            Priority: Minor


The hashCode() methods of the range classes look very suspicious to me. The 
value is lazily initialized, but the calculation is done _on the cached value. 
With some unlucky timing a caller may get an incomplete hash.

An unlucky sequence of Code could be something like
{{T1:        if (hashCode == 0)
T1:            hashCode = 17;
T2:         if (hashCode == 0)
T2:         return hashCode;
T1:            hashCode = 37 * hashCode...........}}

where T1 and T2 are different threads accessing the method in parallel and T2 
gets the wrong hash "17".

Affected classes are

org.apache.commons.lang.math.DoubleRange
org.apache.commons.lang.math.FloatRange
org.apache.commons.lang.math.IntRange
org.apache.commons.lang.math.LongRange
org.apache.commons.lang.math.NumberRange
org.apache.commons.lang.math.Range

Possible fix: calculate the hash on a temporary variable and finally assign it 
to the member
