I just did a "cvs update" but don't see your change.  "cvs log" reports
that the latest revision is 2.242.  Is that the revision with the change?

place.  Actually, if you don't use the time-stamp-* functions, you don't
need the (require 'time-stamp).

Correct.  Function md5 returns a string of 32 hex digits.
