PAWN_HASH_ENTRY *

/**

Routine description:

    Called by eval with a pointer to a POSITION, look in our pawn hash
    to see if we have an entry that matches the pawn structure in the
    POSITION.  If so, "check out" that entry and return a pointer to
    it.

    Note: there is a multi-probing scheme in place to remove
    contention on MP machines.

Parameters:

    POSITION *pos

Return value:

    PAWN_HASH_ENTRY *
