[issue17891] Wrong MD5 calculation on really long strings and the Hashlib

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali added the comment:

I'm getting the same hash as CPython with md5sum and openssl, on Linux:

$ wc -c data
6227020800 data
$ md5sum data
8adbd18519be193db41dd5341a260963  data
$ openssl md5 data
MD5(data)= 8adbd18519be193db41dd5341a260963

So it's correct, and your system's openssl version is borked. As for why Pypy returns the same result, I've no clue: maybe it's linked with your system libraries.
