Summary: md5 sums are different between Solaris and Windows XP SP1

Initial Comment:
The following program produces
different md5 sums under Solaris and Windows XP,
but sums are equal under the same platform.

#!/opt/ASpy23/bin/python
import sys
import md5
import getopt
import os
import re

try:
    opts,args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],'c:f:h')
except getopt.GetoptError,e:
    print 'Parsing command line arguments failed. (%s)'
% str(e)
    sys.exit(1)

md5file = None
fname = None

for o,a in opts:
   if o in '-c':
       if fname is not None:
           print '-c and -f are mutually exclusive'
           sys.exit(1)
       md5file = a
   if o in '-f':
       if md5file is not None:
           print '-c and -f are mutually exclusive'
           sys.exit(1)
       fname = a
   if o in '-h':
       print 'Usage: md5 filename. (%s)' % str(e)
       sys.exit(1)

if md5file is not None and os.path.isfile(md5file):
    try:
        lines = open(md5file,'r').readlines()
    except IOError,e: 
        print 'Could not read MD5 sum file %s. (%s)' %
(md5file,str(e))
        sys.exit(1)

            sys.exit(1)
        if os.path.isfile(res[0]):

            try:
                sum.update(f.read())
            except Exception,e:
                print 'Could not update MD5 sum. (%s)'
% str(e)
                sys.exit(1)
            #print sum.hexdigest(),res[1][2:],res[0],line
            if sum.hexdigest() == res[1][2:]:
                print 'MD5 sum of file %s is OK' % res[0]
            else:
                print 'MD5 sum of file %s DIFFERS' % res[0]
            f.close()
            sum = None
    sys.exit(0)

try:
    sum.update(f.read())
except Exception,e:
    print 'Could not update md5 sum. (%s)' % str(e)
print 'MD5  (%s) = 0x%s' % (fname,sum.hexdigest())
f.close()
