I should rather think that it's the hashing itself which could make the problem.
My 1st idea is that you could make a mistake regarding bounds. May be you store
a bound as an exact value, or you read a bound and interprete as exact ?
Perhaps it's worthwhile to test what happens if you store and read exact values
only.
