If a line specifies a binary checksum whose path contains two adjacent
spaces, when checking digests with -c the two spaces will be used as the
separator between the digest and the pathname instead of " *", as shown:

$ echo foo > "/tmp/two  spaces"
$ md5sum -b "/tmp/two  spaces"   # This is GNU md5sum
d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff00 */tmp/two  spaces
$ md5sum -b "/tmp/two  spaces" | ./busybox md5sum -c
md5sum: can't open 'spaces': No such file or directory
spaces: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksums did NOT match
