No, and I think the underlying issue is a problem with the automatic
generation of these checksums, i.e. my code :(

When the binary was uploaded, it might have already been looked at
through the downloads page and because of that a wrong checksum of a
partially uploaded file was calculated and cached. This cache
invalidates itself after 24 hours, so it should be correct in a few.

Sorry for the inconvenience - I start to think I should remove this
dynamic hashing again altogether...

Thomas.
