 Fixed:

   * In hashExpr, use Word32 rather than relying on wrapping behaviour of
 Int
   Fixes #952, as it turns out.

   When compiling via C, we are at the mercy of C's undefined behaviour
   with respect to overflow of signed integer operations, and this was
   biting us here.

   Perhaps we should always add the -fwrapv flag to gcc, but since
   Haskell doesn't define overflow on Int either, it seemed the right
   thing to do to fix this code anyway.
