What's wrong with zero? The raw digest is a set of pseudo-random bytes,
of none of the bytes or nibbles were ever zero, that would be strong
evidence that the hash is flawed.

You have not posted the relevant code, and your problem descriptions
are vague. If you want help you need to post clear problem descriptions
and a complete example constiting of a cert.pem file and code with
working Makefile that computes the "wrong" digest for the certificate
(different from what is reported by "openssl x509 -sha1 -fingerprint
-noout -in cert.pem").
