Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] hash.h: Silence a clang -Wshorten-64-to-32 warning

The clang warning -Wshorten-64-to-32 can be useful to catch
inadvertent truncation. In some instances this truncation can lead to
changing the sign of a result, for example, truncation to return an
int to fit a sort routine. Silence the warning by making the implicit
truncation explicit. This isn't to say the code is currently incorrect
but without silencing the warning it is hard to spot the erroneous
cases.
