String to sha1 fails in at least one string #2

At least one example that fails is in the possession of the maintainer (me). String is 34 ascii characters long. Unfortunately, this counterexample is mildly privileged and will not be attached to the issue. Attempt to find a public example?

Tested the problem string against Microsoft's File Checksum Integrity Verifier and against IBM's BigFix sha1 tool. Checksums match!

This may mean that there are some faulty sha1 implementations in production use out there....

The next step for me is to investigate my app that uses sha1 for transmission errors, but as far as hashdig is concerned, this turned out to be not a bug.
