Bug in md5sum

[Chuck Messenger]

Try the following:

$ touch a\\\'s
$ ls
a\'s
$ md5sum a\\\'s
\d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  a\\'s
$ md5sum --version
md5sum (coreutils) 5.2.1

In other words, an extraneous \ is inserted before the md5 in the 
output, due to the fact that there's a backslash (or perhaps a \') in 
the file name.
