Erm... technically the code works as expected and we don't have any
regressions since the "-x" option is a new feature. The only issue is
that it runs a bit slower for large files (hey, for smaller files it
runs even faster than /usr/bin/digest ... :-) ) ...

.. from an adminstrative+management point of view I fully agree with
you...
.. the only thing I wish is that we had more time... ;-/

Anyway... enough the wailing... we're going to address the issue... :-)
.. is there anything else which needs to be fixed for libsum and/or
/usr/bin/sum ?
