Matthias,

Nice idea.  Create a new hash for each message (quick), then add the new to 
a cumulative hash.  Clean and simple.

Now, about that patch you keep saying we should look at ...  Just commit 
it, so we can update our machines and use it.  Unexpected defects will make 
themselves evident soon enough.
