Bug#841447: md5deep: sudo md5deep -rel /* leads to system crash

[Julian Schwarz]

Package: md5deep
Version: 4.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

"md5deep -rel /*" crashes my system (reboot) with a for me unkown reason. "sha256deep -rel /*" crashes in the same way. This was tested on two
different machines running debian stable and one machine running debian unstable all showing the same issue.
A "md5deep -rel /* >> log.txt 2>&1" seems to run without crashing the system. While running "md5deep -rel /* >> log.txt" the log.txt
showed that it crashed on reading a file in /home/user and the file ending constisted out of NULLS, but a "md5deep -rel /home/*" runs
without any problem.
