Bug in md5sum ?

Hello,
 
we have tested md5sum and found that it doesn't calculate the results of the
testcases in RFC1321 (see
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1321.html
<http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1321.html>  ). The same
problem appears to md5. The only solution we've found working correctly is
the Perl-Module Digest::MD5...
 
These errors appear under Win2k and different versions of Solaris.
 
C:\work\perl\basics\md5>md5sum --version
md5sum (textutils) 2.0.21
Written by Ulrich Drepper and Scott Miller.

--- extract from RFC1321 ---
MD5 ("") = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e 
MD5 ("a") = 0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661 
MD5 ("abc") = 900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72 
MD5 ("message digest") = f96b697d7cb7938d525a2f31aaf161d0 
MD5 ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") = c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b 
MD5 ("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") = 

d174ab98d277d9f5a5611c2c9f419d9f
--- cut ---
But the results under Win2k pro are:
C:\work\perl\basics\md5>echo "" | md5sum
2f8f3230bbc42e379a1554ca3419d46d *-
C:\work\perl\basics\md5>echo a | md5sum
27ff7ea9ce50076cfc8e794d64957f7c *-
C:\work\perl\basics\md5>echo abc | md5sum

...
