Er, why not use btree instead?  The hash index code isn't nearly as well
debugged or maintained as btree.

Of course, if you want to adopt the hash stuff as a personal project,
be my guest --- fixes are always appreciated.  But it's got a number of
known problems, like being subject to deadlocks under concurrent access.
