absolutely not.  Anthony Cozzie and I have a paper pending in the JICGA that
answers this question pretty well.  1 collision in 1 million nodes will have no
noticable effect on the search space in fact...  Won't change the score, the
best move, or anything else other than the total size of the search space which
can go up or down by a relatively insignificant amount.
