Section 3.4 says: 

   /* Round 3. */
   /* Let [abcd k s t] denote the operation
        a = b + ((a + H(b,c,d) + X[k] + T[i]) <<< s). */
   /* Do the following 16 operations. */

It should say:

   /* Round 3. */
   /* Let [abcd k s i] denote the operation
        a = b + ((a + H(b,c,d) + X[k] + T[i]) <<< s). */

Section 3.4 says: 

   the each bit of F(X,Y,Z) will be independent

It should say:

   then each bit of F(X,Y,Z) will be independent

Appendix A says:

  printf
 ("MD%d time trial. Digesting %d %d-byte blocks ...", MD,
  TEST_BLOCK_LEN, TEST_BLOCK_COUNT);

It should say:

  TEST_BLOCK_COUNT, TEST_BLOCK_LEN);

Status: Reported
Type: Technical

Appendix A.1 says:

/* POINTER defines a generic pointer type */
typedef unsigned char *POINTER;

/* UINT2 defines a two byte word */
typedef unsigned short int UINT2;

/* UINT4 defines a four byte word */
typedef unsigned long int UINT4;

It should say:

#include <stdint.h>

/* POINTER defines a generic pointer type */
typedef unsigned char *POINTER;

/* UINT2 defines a two byte word */
typedef uint16_t UINT2;

/* UINT4 defines a four byte word */
typedef uint32_t UINT4;

Notes:

On some modern systems like x86-64 Linux, unsigned long int is 8 bytes, which causes the original implementation to be incorrect.

Section A.4 says: 

  printf
 ("Speed = %ld bytes/second\n",
  (long)TEST_BLOCK_LEN * (long)TEST_BLOCK_COUNT/(endTime-startTime));

It should say:

 if(endTime-startTime)
 printf
 ("Speed = %ld bytes/second\n",
  (long)TEST_BLOCK_LEN * (long)TEST_BLOCK_COUNT/(endTime-startTime));

Notes:

The result of endTime-startTime may be zero. The result is a division by zero. This check prevents this.

AD Note: Technically endTime-startTime is not a bool, so a better fix would be:
if ((endTime-startTime) !=0)
