I've not looked closely, but is that (in some sense) duplicating
the key length?
So you could set a = key[2] and b = key[3] and still have an
working hash - albeit not exactly the one specified.

I'll add another comment here...
Is it worth using the 32bit hash for IP addresses on 64bit systems that
can't do misaligned accessed?
