Hi, this is probably not a error.
You can see it in md5sum.c in coreutils (I have 5.97):
== md5sum.c ==
638 /* Output a leading backslash if the file name contains
639 a newline or backslash. */
640 if (strchr (file, '\n') || strchr (file, '\\'))
641
I get the following new error on my recently upgraded Etch system:
$ touch "test\file"
$ md5sum "test\file"
\d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e test\\file
Note the leading backslash. This is some thing I haven't seen before, and it
breaks some of my maintenance scripts which don't have control
