It seems to me that the best way to solve this situation once and for
all is to re-implement the toString function in SHATumbler<int_type>:

        1) In constructor, allocate two charachter arrays:
                a) for a sprintf format string
                b) for a temporary string representation of the tumbler
                   itself (part of the total sha message)

        2) In constructor, define the sprintf format string such that
           it looks something like "%0[sizeof(int_type * 2)]x" using,
           naturally, sprintf.

        3) In SHATumbler<int_type>::toString(std::ostream & os),
           sprintf is used with the generated sprintf format (in [2])
           to place the tumbler's string representation in the
           temorary string (in [1b]).

        4) The temporary string is piped out to os

        5) Destructor destroys both strings made in consructor.

I'll try to do this in the next few days.

Did adding this to sha.cpp:

#ifdef __WIN32__
unsigned
SHATumbler<uint32>::placeInBuffer(unsigned char *);
#endif

make any difference?

Thank you,
