The result of this computation is a series of 5 integers stored in the 
hash[] array, plus an offset. The resulting x and y values are of no 
concern. The reason you are confused is proably because you have your 
code print out

>         printf("%d,%u,%u\n",cmd->z,x,y);

at the end, which is not what this code is supposed to compute.

Bye
