I could. Is your filesize 11? Maybe your editor added a newline character.

    C:\>ls -l blah2.txt
    -rwx------+ 1 shrughes ???????? 11 May 18 06:39 blah2.txt
    C:\>cat blah2.txt
    1 collision
    C:\>openssl dgst -sha1 blah2.txt
    SHA1(../blah2.txt)= 260bad88a9bf718be7ac56ab10db83682e043f5e

Thanks. That's odd. Maybe I kept glancing back at the decimal one they give first. I even ended up doing stuff like

    for n in '' -n; do for a in '' ' '; do for b in '' ' '; do echo $n "${a}ABC$b" | sha1sum; done; done; done

to try and get the output they give for http://www63.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=SHA+ABC and thought I hadn't managed it.
