Hash synchronization

Hans,
I've tested the patch on a 4-way PPC system and a 4-way opteron system 
and can no longer reproduce the bug, so it looks good to me. I think 
leaving the logging code in is fine - it doesn't effect performance when 
its not enabled and may help others understand and debug the code in 
future. Please go ahead and check it in if you're happy with it. We 
should also consider this patch for the 3.4 branch.
Thanks!
