Comment (by bananu7):

 > Maybe the solution is just switching to another hash function

 What about that? Doesn't that improve the ''chances'' of the collision not
 being found even more? It looks like an change that's easy enough. Doesn't
 moving this ticket to _|_ mean that it's effectively being forgotten?
