Almost certainly the latter. (That is, as far as I'm aware there's no
particular connection between the two. They're both apparently from a
similar family of algorithms, which is causing people to propose
significant new research efforts into hashing algorithms, but finding
collisions in one doesn't help in finding collisions in the other, as
far as I'm aware.)
Better, as Tom suggests, to try and separate out the issues. Graydon
wrote something related a while ago,
<http://www.venge.net/monotone/docs/Hash-Integrity.html>, arguing that
one should consider separately mechanisms for detecting accidental
modifications and mechanisms for determining trust.
