This is very unlikely the problem. st_blocks field values do not influence
md5sum behavior in any way. The file size (st_size) would, but both du -k
and the above code snipped only deal with st_blocks.

Bobby, it would help if you can identify the mismatching file and inspect
and see what is the difference between the two files?
