Description

The utils_stringHash function is generating the same id for a set of different strings.

The following code can be used (the DJB2 Hash algorithm):
--------------------------------------------
unsigned int hc = 5381;
char ch;
while((ch = *string++) != '\0') {
hc = (hc << 5) + hc + ch;
}
return hc;
---------------------------------------------
