FWIW, I've looked at the code and tested it with perl 5.18 to be sure, I
do not think there is a problem due to the way rancid handles the hashes.
Any issues are likely due to the ip sorting problem, which i expect to
either be ipv6 related or a problem that existed with using the right key
with IOS-XR.  But, LMK if anyone finds an issue.

Also, the previous behavior seems be attainable by setting the environment
variables PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0 and PERL_HASH_SEED=0.  Which could be done
in rancid.conf.
