That is why we are switching the use of Gettext for KDE4. ;-)

As for KDE3, yes, you need the msgfmt of some old Gettext 0.10.x. where it is 
still the old hash function. (Apart the patched xgettext if you want to 
extract, you can use any other Gettext tools however. Scripty uses Gettext 
0.14.x for the rest.)
