This is an issue with table building. I'll fix. 25 million shouldn't be
much of an issue. In fact, I had 100-120 million hashes in mind when
writing tables algorithm, and I tested it for 110 million 128bit hashes and
upto 60 million 192 bit hashes. However, as solar said, some adjustments
are required regarding initial table size.
