Check the sizes first with e.g. "ls". If they're the same, run "od -t x1z
$file | less" on each one and see if they look the same by eye.
Actually, hmm, does md5sum _do_ big files? I guess you could run something
like "strace md5sum $file 2>&1 | grep open" and see whether they're
"open64"s. But that might not be the right call to check, and there are
probably easier methods anyhow.
