Hash quality and stability of String.GetHashCode() in .NET?

Question

I am wondering about the hash quality and the hash stability produced by the String.GetHashCode() implementation in .NET?

Answer 1

I know that this isn't really included the meanings of quality and stability that you specified, but it's worth being aware that hashing extremely large strings can produce an OutOfMemoryException.
