Have to stick my nose in...

Great patch!  Thanks!

It's quite possible that the hash function is the right way to go, but I'd
like to re-use the cache code we already have. It should be almost as fast
as a hash (faster, if buckets are used), and will mean one less
re-implementation of the same functionality.

I know that this isn't a problem on horking-big Unix systems, but folks
porting to older platforms (eg., Amiga) are already having a great deal of
trouble with the size of Samba.
