Hi Ludo'!

I should note that later in the IRC convo I corrected my sloppy 
‘full’ to ‘hash collision’.  Unfortunately it just returns an 
already overloaded -ENOSPC to user space.

Fine; implementation flaw, then?  Problem is, it's not like there 
are other implementations than the one we're stuck with, so it 
matters little what we call it.

Kind regards,
