A bit on a side note regarding the php function md5(): In general it
is possible to supply an arbitrary number of bits as input to MD5.
However, the implementation of md5() only takes a sting with octets as
the smallest fragments.
Would it somehow be possible to supply an input where the number of
bits does not add up to a number divisible by eight? Or is this
feature of md5 simply not relevant to anybody?
