Hi,
I've tried to track down why my own script which is cleaning non-matching
distfiles from time to time produce incorrect results (just cvsup'ed 4.0).
After some digging I've found that this bug could be easily reproduced by doing
"find -exec md5" on large set of files several times consequiently, and then
comparing results. You can see that md5 checksum of the one of the files is
different in the run #3. Most often this happens with big distfiles, like
XFree, jdk etc and only after some amount of previous activity. Memory/CPU/HDD
bug is highly unlikely, as this box often up and running w/o reboot from
release to release, so it looks like glitch in disk cache, fs, soft-updates or
md5.
