HeHASH Returns the computed hash stored in the hash entry. U32 HeHASH(HE he)* Which is fine ... Er, actually, it is terminally stupid. In order to obtain the HE* for a key, I first need to look it up; and in order to lookup the key, I need to calculate the hash value! Reminds me of the old joke: Anti-thirst pills; take two in a glass of water.
