there are always bugs in hashings... ...test it well, create at least
a functoin that calculates the hashkey in the current position, and
compare that with the incremental value. I bet there are some mistakes
there!

After that check go figure out how you store it. I've had nasty bugs
when compressing a lot of info into a few bits.
