inaki,

size=4 means that the hash table has 16 entries.  it does not mean that
the table could not contain more objects, but collisions will happen.

there is an example with size=8 too.  for some reason exampe 1.13
shows two identical htables:

modparam("htable", "htable", "a=>size=4;autoexpire=7200;dbtable=htable_a;")
modparam("htable", "htable", "a=>size=4;autoexpire=7200;dbtable=htable_a;")
