Hi,

We utilize flite (http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/doc/flite_4.html)
sound synthesizer for the visually impaired and this morning our file
integrity security notified me that the flite binary changed size and hashs:

Integrity checksum changed for: '/usr/bin/flite'
Size changed from '3017621' to '3020173'
Old md5sum was: '135af20d9209a9e0d5673cf0b057787d'
New md5sum is : '9da45771718daa5d7e75154812ce7912'
Old sha1sum was: '83339dbaa19f27bae01f9cd6b8cde537cf2a294b'
New sha1sum is : 'be0cbb2acec3c3c1c23846253830689f9a4a3e22'

Is there any way to see what changed in the flite.org and flite.new below:

flite.org: http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlETkFwbWc1bmhFQlE9PQ
flite.new: http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlETkFtRStwTVUwTVE9PQ

I'm wondering if the binary file was some how compromised?

thx,

SW
