Hi Bertram,

 Thanks for reporting this problem.  I have applied the second half of your
patch - adding more small prime values to the arrays in hash.c.  But there is
no need for the first part of the patch (changing the value of DEFAULT_SIZE). 
You can do this from the linker command line.  vis:

  --hash-size=31

You might also wish to consider adding the --reduce-memory-overheads option to
the linker command line as well.

Cheers
  Nick
