No objection to this patch, but it does raise the question.  Should we somehow 
strip the leading and training white space, maybe even multiple spaces (like 
above) and then use the results to generate the checksum?

If I saw the above, my first comment would be "well that's stupid, the output is 
the same"..  (Of course performance might be impacted by all of that stripping..)
