I found that function md5 (in fns.c) doesn't pay attention
to the case that the current buffer is different from OBJECT
arg.  Coding system has nothing to do with this bug.  As
I've just committed the atttached change, please try again.
As this bug is serious, I committed it also to RC branch.

That's normal because buffer position starts from 1, not 0.

        * fns.c (Fmd5): If OBJECT is a buffer different from the current
        one, set buffer to OBJECT temporarily.
