OK.  If the <hash> is given by this side (as opposed to "you started
to talk to a remote, and it turns out that you are still talking
SHA-1 but the other side talks SHA-256 and their <hash> size that is
64 does not match your 40" case), then checking against
the_hash_algo->hexsz should be sufficient.  The original suggestion
was tried both because I didn't know where <hash> originates, and we
would want to redact even in such a hash type mismatch case.

Thanks.  Will take a look at the updated one.
