You need to update src/hackerlab, too.

That particular unit test is slightly bogus in theory -- it fails if
there are hash collisions among a small set of objects.  However, it
should pass with very high probability and so, temporarily, serves as
a sanity check on the hashing functions in libhackerlab.

It failed that test initially:  the hashes for () and #t collided.
That should be a platform-independent result.   libhackerlab was
changed accordingly and after you update that too, it should pass.
