I have checksum'd the aggregate patch kit file for 4.0G
(t64V40gas0003-20010613.tar) and they doesn't match
the ones posted on
<http://ftp1.support.compaq.com/public/Digital_UNIX/v4.0g/t64v40gas0003-20010613.html>
(I checked both the 'cksum' and 'md5sum' checksums.)

I then downloaded the file a second time, got the same results
and then tried again on another machine.

I don't really feel comfortable applying a patch kit whose
checksums don't match the ones reported on the web page.
Especially since the web page is a year old; I figure someone
must have reported/fixed this by now.

Who at HP can I get to verify the checksums, and if they're posted
incorrectly, get the web page fixed? The webmaster? Support?
Does anyone else verfiy the checksums after downloading
the patch kits or am I the only paranoid nitpicker out there?
