SHA1 hash depends on calendar system in use?

2009-02-15 Thread Graham Cox
I have some code using the openssl library to perform some public-key decryption. I'm finding that the calendar system in use (Gregorian vs. Hebrew say, as set in System Preferences) affects the outcome of performing a SHA1 hash on some arbitrary data. Is this to be expected? It seems weird
