Daniel, thanks for the information. I have already converted the code to
use 'char *' in r39973.

Later I plan switch the hash to (revnum, offset) => (checksum, refcount)
in order to do the counting correctly. As a side effect this will get rid
of the counter-inside-a-pointer tricks.

Thanks,

Daniel
