Hash collision




<programming> (Or "hash clash") When two different keys hash to the same value, i.e. to the same location in a hash table.

ESR once asked a friend what he expected Berkeley to be like.

The friend replied, "Well, I have this mental picture of naked women throwing Molotov cocktails, but I think that's just a collision in my hash tables."
