What are the two lines xoring h with shifts of itself meant to be doing?
So that all the upper bits get mixed into the hash somehow, regardless
of the size of the hash table.
Is there a test case I may have missed - otherwise it looks like it was adding
much randomness - particularly in the case of the IP's being "close" to one
another - the xor tends to "knock-out" the upper bits of the IPs. And even when
the remote IPs were random, the two seemed to produce quite similar results.
