Different memory swapped in, and having the same problem.  Could this possibly 
be something with "digest" itself on PPC and/or Linux?  Though I imagine there 
is _someone_ else out there trying to use pkgsrc on PPC Linux besides me.

I'm almost tempted to replace digest with a script that calls the built-in 
tools instead.
