bug#68373: 29.1; Bug in MH-E's support for using openssl to generate the checksum

[Marc Baaden <baaden@smplinux.de>]

Hi Mike,

Sure. Concerning MacOS, actually now I am on 12 because when my new
harddisk replacement (sort of memory stick) arrived, it was not
recognized by OS Catalina v10 and I was forced to upgrade. I hope this
will not mess up the bug follow-up.

I used your email text file for this test.

:541; openssl version
OpenSSL 3.1.2 1 Aug 2023 (Library: OpenSSL 3.1.2 1 Aug 2023)

:542; openssl md5 BU/6
MD5(BU/6)= f4aa56ee20c406082d260b0b3b0e3ca1

Let me know if you need anything else,
Kind regards,
Marc
