Thank you, that works.  Note: it's not even compile tested at this point.

I should be able to do so tomorrow.

Are there other hashes to look at?  I noticed a few more:

UDBHASHSIZE
netinet/tcp_hostcache.c:#define TCP_HOSTCACHE_HASHSIZE          512
netinet/sctp_constants.h:#define SCTP_TCBHASHSIZE 1024
netinet/sctp_constants.h:#define SCTP_PCBHASHSIZE 256
netinet/tcp_syncache.c:#define TCP_SYNCACHE_HASHSIZE            512

Any of these look like good targets?  I think most could be looked at.  
I've only glanced.  I can provide deltas.
