Some hours ago I noticed something strange: 

Cygwin mirrors have in their toplevel a setup.exe and an md5.sum. The
m5sum is

  ae1944f528338033bab3b4710d5bd736  setup.bz2
  b31ddcef84f25919a5d3184167b4a90d  setup.exe
  0503889504b7ff0b23e65586a522b3ad  setup.ini

whereas the setup.exe has actually the md5sum:

  fbc848393ed05ef4f51a253f75bcafeb

I checked that for ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/cygwin/setup.exe and
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin/setup.exe
and some others.

The setup.exe link from cygwin.com

  http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

and has the "right" md5sum (that given in md5.sum)

  b31ddcef84f25919a5d3184167b4a90d

Both file version have the same length and differ only in byte 500.

  cmp -l setup.exe  setup.exe.3.

I'd be interested to hear why that is so -- and also suggest to
correct md5.sum or setup.exe at the master site.
