}    Really? That's a surprise if true.

This is right from the source:

	cnp->cn_hash = 0;
	for (cp = cnp->cn_nameptr; *cp != 0 && *cp != '/'; cp++)
		cnp->cn_hash += (unsigned char)*cp;
	cnp->cn_namelen = cp - cnp->cn_nameptr;

It sure looks to me like it stops on '/' ;-)

Also, even if you totally ditch the hash, you still need the loop
to find the end of the component.
