GetTwmWindow() uses XFindContext() to get our TwmWindow pointer from a
Window. That uses a hash table with a crappy hash function:

ctwm's win_utils.c:

    stat = XFindContext(dpy, w, TwmContext, (XPointer *)&twmwin);

where TwmContext is from

        // Allocate contexts/atoms/etc we use
        TwmContext = XUniqueContext();

libX11/dist/src/Context.c:

/* Given an XID and a context, returns a value between 0 and HashSize-1.
 *    Currently, this requires that HashSize be a power of 2.
 *    */

#define Hash(db,rid,context) \
    (db)->table[(((rid) << 1) + context) & (db)->mask]

/* Given an XID and context, returns the associated data.  Note that data
   here is a pointer since it is a return value.  Returns nonzero error code
   if an error has occured, 0 otherwise.  Possible errors are Entry-not-found.
*/

int XFindContext(Display *display, XID rid, XContext context, XPointer *data)
{
    register DB db;
    register TableEntry entry;

#ifdef MOTIFBC
    if (!display) db = NullDB; else
#endif
    {   
        LockDisplay(display);
        db = display->context_db;
        UnlockDisplay(display);
    }
    if (!db)
        return XCNOENT;
    _XLockMutex(&db->linfo);
    for (entry = Hash(db, rid, context); entry; entry = entry->next)
    {   
        if (entry->rid == rid && entry->context == context) {
            *data = (XPointer)entry->data;
            _XUnlockMutex(&db->linfo);
            return 0;
        }
    }
    _XUnlockMutex(&db->linfo);
    return XCNOENT;
}

Just fyi :-)
