New submission from Chris Rebert <pyb...@rebertia.com>:

The randomization introduced by the fix for issue 13703 means that the example 
string hash values given in 
http://docs.python.org/dev/faq/design.html#how-are-dictionaries-implemented are 
liable to become more difficult to reproduce (in fact, the example already 
currently implicitly assumes a 32-bit build). Either the phrasing should be 
changed to emphasize that these are *possible* values the strings *might* hash 
to, or no concrete hash values should be given at all.
