Hash library used a function pointer to choose a different
key compare function, depending on the key size.
As a result, multiple processes could not use the same hash table,
as the function addresses vary from one process to another.
Instead, a jump table is used, so each process has its own
function addresses, accessing this table with an index stored
in the hash table (note that using a custom key compare function
is not supported in multi-process mode).
