>Description:
When I run (on FreeBSD 5.4)
 > sha1 /dev 
or
 > md5 /dev

checksum is NOT calculated and is suspended.
there is no problem on FreeBSD 4.X.

when i run sha (/usr/ports/security/sha) there is no problem.

if you asked who and why run sha1 /dev ... ? ... so my project (it is a file system checksum checker) uses SHA1_File() ... and it is possible someone whats to check everything ... it will be better it works:-)
