New description:
The attached patch adds --hash-seed to parrot's cli options. When set to
a valid hex value, interp->hash_seed will contain that value instead of a
sorta-random value based on the current time. The value of this is to
speed debugging of failures that appear to be related to hash ordering.
Coke found such a bug in partcl recently.
The patch is pretty simple, but I thought I'd put this out there before
committing in the likely case that I've missed something.
