I added code for crc32, mscash1, XSHA512.  Those were the other 3 formats on
Solars 'bad-list' for .bss size on OMP builds.

I did not add any 'memset' after allocations on the changes magnum has made.
Like I said, it 'may' not be an issue anywhere.  However, the md5 std format
caused one of my builds to core, due to not memsetting the buffer to start
with, and then a strlen() call was returning a HUGE string.  Skipping memset
on these formats 'may be' safe, but who knows.

Jim.
