The size was actually 2048 (support/intern.c) - 512 is the size for other hash 
tables (support/hashtab.c).  Don't confuse intern'ing in the compiler with 
intern'ing in the engine.  They are two completely separate things.

Changing these to prime numbers does help a little, but only on the order of a 
second or so for a full pnetlib build.  If there is a bottleneck in the 
system, then this isn't it.

Cheers,

Rhys.
