[Lula] md5sum weirdness on firefox

The only way I see that I could blame my network hardware would be if
the hardware were consistently performing some sort of transformation
on some sequence of bits that happens to exist in firefox-1.5.0.9-3,
and then ***reversing that transformation when the data leaves my
computer***. (Remember, when I uploaded it to the Solaris box, it
matched exactly the file that I downloaded directly from Redhat to the
Solaris box.) 

But it doesn't perform that same transformation on any other incoming
data -- I haven't noticed any other data corruption in the three weeks
since this started.

My current theory is that my md5sum binary is horked up in some awful
way. But I'm having a hard time believing that too. 

spoo:~$ rpm -qf `which md5sum`
coreutils-5.97-12.3.fc6
spoo:~$ md5sum `which md5sum`
