Looking closely at the patch I applied yesterday, I realized that it had a couple of problems:

• Instead of the hash randomization having 24 bits of entropy, it only had 2 to 5 bits of entropy
• The hash randomization would sometimes not do a good job of randomizing the hash buckets chosen, slowing down MaraDNS' performance

This in mind, I have release MaraDNS 1.3.07.13 and MaraDNS 1.4.09 today with both of these issues fixed. The hash randomization now has 31 bits of entropy, and the hash does a fairly good job of choosing a random hash bucket again.

The tarball files can be found here:
