As reported over the last few months, MD5 is very broken. MD5 collisions are very easy to generate, with some reports of as little as a few hours needed on reasonable hardware to generate a collision.
There's now a known attack for generating 2 strings that happen to hash to the same MD5 hash value fairly easily. The more general problem of generating a second string that hashes to an already known/fixed MD5 hash is still basically infeasible (unless you're a very well funded spook agency *and* know something the rest of us don't)...
