Now I found the hash function in GNU gettext. The algorithm is the same
as in Free Pascal and the result for a string like
'TABOUTFORM.CAPTION'#4'About' is also the same. So that's not the
problem... I think I have to dive deeper into the msgfmt tool. The
documentation mentions "double hashing" which is used when messages
collide (which is the case here because I have multiple "About" texts in
the application).
