Subject: jacksum: incorrect checksum generated from stdin
Package: jacksum
Version: 1.7.0-2
Severity: normal


When reading from standard input, Jacksum assumes the existence of a 
newline at the end of the input even if one is not present.  Consider 
the following:

zpal...@thirtyseven:~$ echo "test" | md5sum
d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249  -
zpal...@thirtyseven:~$ echo "test" | jacksum -a md5
d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249
zpal...@thirtyseven:~$ echo -n "test" | md5sum
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6  -
zpal...@thirtyseven:~$ echo -n "test" | jacksum -a md5
d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249

This appears to be independent of the algorithm in question; the same 
problem arose when using CRC8 and SHA1.

This problem is not present when reading from a file:

zpal...@thirtyseven:~$ echo -n "test" > ztemp
zpal...@thirtyseven:~$ jacksum -a md5 ztemp
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 ztemp
