Unless it's fixed I'd say it's still a problem :) Unfortunately I'm not in a
position to test it.. but as far as I can remember, the issue at a glance is
that when 'cast' processes the files in order to put the install log together,
it doesn't put quotes around filename arguments to md5sum (and tar).. so it
probably does like this:

md5sum version notes.txt

..instead of this, which would've worked:

mf5sum "version notes.txt"

So, the space in the filename doesn't (didn't?) get properly quoted when
wrapping up the install log.
