Hello. I would like to report a bug for md5sum coreutil. If filename has ‘\t’ in filename, stdout for md5sum result will start with backslash symbol. * My version of md5sum util: md5sum --version md5sum (GNU coreutils) 8.32 * Set of commands to reproduce: $ touch hello $ touch hello\t\\t\\\t\\\\t $ md5sum ./* d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e ./hello \d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e ./hellot\\t\\t\\\\t * Expected no backshash symbol in stdout line 2. This is not a big deal as files with backslashes in names are rare, but if someone process md5sums with regexp this case might ruin their work. Theoretically. Thank you. -- William Johnson
