If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King [ Upstream commit 169dc027fb02492ea37a0575db6a658cf922b854 ] The rol32 call is currently rotating hash but the rol'd value is being discarded. I believe the current code is incorrect and hash should be assigned the rotated value returned from rol32. Thanks to David Lebrun for spotting this.
