Thank you everyone for your help.
Marek hit the nail on the head with his evaluation. The issue was,
indeed, related to the "echo" command used in testing against the output
of the library function. Solaris appends a newline (hex 'A' or octal
'012') to the echoed string which is subsequently evaluated by the
hashing algorithm. The solution to this was to use 'printf "some
string" | openssl dgst -md5' as printf outputs only what is between the
quotes.

Echo command adds "new line" characters.
Try someting like "echo -n" on linux or "\c" on hpux
to disable this.
