Why did you put yourself through all this pain when you could have just copied the code from md5sum(1), removed the main function, and foreign imported its buffer accumulator wrapping it as a function over lazy bytestrings? We have the best foreign function interface in the world. Reinventing wheels is stupid, especially if the existing wheels are this easy to use. Stefan
