    reduces the cost of hash collisions because consecutive memory accesses
    tend to be much cheaper than scattered probes.  After LINEAR_PROBES steps,
    we then use more of the upper bits from the hash value and apply a simple

+   linear congruential random number generator.  This helps break-up long
    chains of collisions.
 
    All arithmetic on hash should ignore overflow.
