The O_DIRECT mechanism of md5sum would occasionally crash out. This was
caused by an unaligned memory buffer that would mostly but not always be
page aligned. This update fixes this issue.

In AS2.1, md5sum is part of the package textutils. A version has been
built for all platforms and is available from 
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/coreutils/files/AS2.1/

In EL3 md5sum is part of the package coreutils. A fixed version of
coreutils for md5sum is available from 
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/coreutils/files/EL3/
