I have no idea what 'timeout' means, but that *should* take an
extraordinarily long time (it is at least quadratic in the input
length). This is the point of hashing -- you *need* hash=TRUE, and
you should probably also set 'size' in new.env.
There was an obvious missing PROTECT in this function.
I do wonder if you are yet familiar with the debugging tools described
in 'Writing R Extensions' -- please do use them before reporting.
