Umm, no. The original implementation is this: double
the size of the table and add 4 empty slots per
bucket.
The new implementation just adds an empty slot at the
end, essentially creating a linear list with the empty
slot as the stop marker.

We need to retain the structure of the hash, which is:
 bucket1/slot1..n/empty1|bucket2/slot2..n/...
I think the confusion comes from the misleading
comment at the top, which I think mentions that we
need an odd number of entries. The comment is correct
(the last entry is used to separate the buckets), but
maybe it should mention how the entries are layed out.
Probably the original author wrote 1 + 2 to emphasize
that the size of the hash gets doubled and we add 4
slots per bucket.
