I believe that what your OP mmstick might have been saying is that the hashing algorithm used in the C version of the algorithm might be very different from the hashing algorithm in the Rust version, and this difference might be significant.
I don't speak Rust, so I can't quite tell what's going on here:
Again, I don't speak Rust so hopefully someone can comment on this, but I don't see that same simple hash is being used in the Rust...I think it might be using a default hash function, which would probably be more collision resistant.
I am sure that the Rust could be made to do the same thing, but I am not sure that, as-is, this is an apples to apples comparison.

But the C hash function is very simple, and probably not at all collision-resistant:
