Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: coreutils
Hi,
I think I may have discovered a bug in md5sum.
When I generate the checksum of a file with a backslash in the filename,
it prepends a backslash to the hash, and then also escapes the backslash
in the output filename. Please see example below:
$ md5sum "test\file"
\d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e test\\file
This was on ubuntu 6.06 and 5.10. Does not occur in Debian 3.1.
Thanks for your time,
Andrew Jones
