Tollef, do you have a working URL for that?  It comes up "not found"
for me.

I'd like to know what it fixes, but you should be aware that
bin/digest_arch is quite unmaintained.  If you find it useful and that
patch makes sense, I'll integrate it with the current CVS tree.  I've
never personally made any substantive change to that file.
