What is does is clear -- this code computes a hash.  However,
the real question is different.  Namely, to cooperate Axiom
and Aldor need to compute this hash in the same way.  So the
question is which versions of Aldor use the formula above?
Did Axiom always use wrong formula or is this a change in
Aldor?
