- * hash_tab[hash] points to the head of the link-list of strings with
- * the same hash. The records are statically stored in circular array
- * hash_rec (with 1st entry unused), and the pointers are just 16-bit
- * indices. In one array, we store 2 independent link-lists: with 3 and 4
- * hashed characters.
- *
- * The data structure fulfills 2 invariants: the strings in every collision
- * chain are ordered by age, and the head of every link-list is placed
- * correctly. The records in the middle of the link-lists may be placed
- * wrong, and this is handled here by checking the string order.
