Hello Mike!

Replying to a message of Mike Bilow to Sean Price:

 MB> The ELF Hash takes as an argument a pointer to a NUL-terminated array
 MB> of bytes.  It would be trivial to modify the function to always
 MB> process the four bytes returned as the system time from the C time()
 MB> function.  The hash produces a 32-bit result which can be collapsed

        Great.  This is exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks for the help.
