Wish I knew. Looks like my /usr/bin/md5sum is weird.

Looks like only *.txt files give the wrong checksums. Still mistified
on why I get the can't open errors. I have rw access on the files, so
what gives? Running md5sum with a daily computed list of all files on
the system works fine (compensating for access permissions). That in-
cludes 2.2.17-2000-11-11.
Hmmm, got a hunch here ... let's check ...
olaf@bilbo:[...]/2.2.17-2000-11-11$ hexdump -c md5sum.txt
0000000 9 2 7 8 6 7 7 8 4 5 0 0 d 5 0 7
0000010 0 7 d e 2 2 4 3 5 d a 7 f 1 0 1
> 0000020 . / R E A D M E . t x t \r \n
0000030 d d b 8 4 2 4 8 8 f f a 4 b 8 f
0000040 6 6 e 7 a 3 1 e a 1 9 9 e f 7 e
0000050 . / R E A D - p l . t x t \r
0000060 \n b 5 a 9 7 1 f 1 d 9 d 9 0 0 1
See the end of that third line, \r\n, hmmm, that looks very DOSish and
is bound to trip up md5sum. Same thing in README.txt. Bet the other
text files have the same problem. Oops, looks like I used an FTP URL
and got bitten by the infamous binary/ascii download no-no courtesy of
wget :-{
Sorry for the false alarm!

Yes. And thanks for making me do my homework ;-)
