There are many methods of extensible hashing. Do you mean the one actually
called "extensible hashing" by Fagin et. al. or do you mean any one of
"Linear Hashing", "Dynamic Hashing", "Spiral Storage", etc. ?

Sure, If you like, I can send you an implementation of "Dynamic Hashing",
called sdbm, which is a clone of BSD ndbm. You can also get a hold of
gdbm, which uses "Extensible Hashing". 

If you need more info on the relative merits and shortcomings of these
algorithms, see the following ref.
