I'm afraid you are totally wrong here. MD4 has been completely broken. I wouldn't trust it for anything. In fact, MD5 is no longer trustworthy, either -- it was broken recently. Stick to SHA.
Has MD5 been broken again? Or are you referring to that little collision problem which is unlikely to affect the security of the typical real life application?
I'm not refering to the old pseudocollision problem in the compression from over a year back. A couple of months ago a real break was made as I recall. It wasn't perfect but it was enough.
