Not that it's all that uncommon to reroll dist tarballs without notice (I've had that happen to fetchmail on me just the other day), but sometimes this could be an indication of backdoored distributions on compromised distsites.. It never hurts to be sure - that's just why the distfiles MD5 sums were introduced in the first place, I should think :) G'luck, Peter -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter.
