SHA-2

[Mutatis Mutantdis]

I don't know if the revision is official or proposed. I first heard
about it in a post to alt.security (I saved the message somewhere)
which contained ref's in the federal register.  I've seen other
implementations that make the same fix.

The difference that when the expansion function is performed, it rolls
the dword 1 bit left before putting it in the W[] array.
