Nope. You'd hear about it in the news :-)

There's a theoretical collision attack at 2^51 operations (instead of the ideal 
2^80),
but it's a specific attack (which means that you're specifically trying to 
craft two messages
that give the same hash), and if I'm not mistaken, the probability of 
collisions from a
"good" source (not specifically crafted) is still the same as before the attack.
