After studying the source code, it seems to me that the observed 
behavior is fully normal, and is due to the small length of the text 
being encrypted (1 byte).

So I'd advise to just remove this test (md5 library v1.1.2, test.lua, 
line 78) from the file. Or (alternatively), to specify the seed explicitly.
