<pre>REGRESSION (r208349) StringHasher::hashMemory behavior changed, causing API tests to fail
Link to the change: <a href="https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/208349">https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/208349</a>
The difference is that memory hashing used to mask the top 8 bits of the hash, just like string hashing needed.
Now it no longer does.
We can either restore the masking behavior, or accept the change in behavior (as an improvement, I think) and update the test.
Note: There was a FIXME in hashMemory that called out how odd it was that we masked the top 8 bits for memory hashing when it wasn't needed like for string hashing.</pre>
