It appears that MD5SUM incorrectly lists some checks as FAILED when it
should PASS, e.g. using the 32-bit TortoiseSVN distribution at
http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads:
C:\>md5sum TortoiseSVN-1.4.0.7501-win32-svn-1.4.0.msi
916c103c14664b784a54692cf5e00ca2
*TortoiseSVN-1.4.0.7501-win32-svn-1.4.0.msi
C:\>type TortoiseSVN-1.4.0.7501-win32-svn-1.4.0.md5
916C103C14664B784A54692CF5E00CA2
TortoiseSVN-1.4.0.7501-win32-svn-1.4.0.msi
C:\>md5sum -c TortoiseSVN-1.4.0.7501-win32-svn-1.4.0.md5
TortoiseSVN-1.4.0.7501-win32-svn-1.4.0.msi: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksum did NOT match
It appears the only difference is that of case.
This is running under Windows XP SP2:
C:\>md5sum --version
md5sum (GNU coreutils) 5.97
