Ugh, I hope that's not true...  [Checks] Yep, md5sum defaults to binary
(as it should).  The OP probably used some weird non-binary-mode way of
transferring the files (e.g., FTP in text mode).  So the different md5sums
are legit, and are an indication that the DLLs are corrupt on the target
machine.
