All I can say to my defense is that I didn't write the md5 module.
Maybe it worked once and now the interface has subtly changed?

Anyway, in the next release I'll fix the bugs, change the reference to
RFC 1321, and include the md5c.c from the RFC in the src directory.
How does this sound?

That is indeed the only output to be expected. This script is mostly
intended to be read (it is about the only documentation on the rsa
interface...), not to be executed.
