[savannah-help-public] numdiff package checksum change

[Joshua Hoblitt]

The checksum on the numdiff 5.8.1 tarball has mysteriously changed. This
package was frequently download by a deployment script that is run
frequently at my $day_job.  We have disconnected usage of it as of a few
moments ago.  It is likely this change happened occurred in last day or two.

tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The tarball seems to be corrupted, so my suspicion is that this is a
storage problem rather than malicious activity.
