The basic lookup function used by all operations.
This is essentially Algorithm D from Knuth Vol. 3, Sec. 6.4.
Open addressing is preferred over chaining since the link overhead for
chaining would be substantial (100% with typical malloc overhead).

First a 32-bit hash value, 'sum', is computed from the key string.
The first character is added an extra time shifted by 8 to avoid hashing
single-character keys (often heavily used variables) too close together.
All arithmetic on sum should ignore overflow.

The initial probe index is then computed as sum mod the table size.
Subsequent probe indices are incr apart (mod table size), where incr
is also derived from sum, with the additional requirement that it is
relative prime to the table size (i.e., 1 <= incr < size, since the size
is a prime number).  My choice for incr is somewhat arbitrary.
