Different results with Java’s digest versus external utilities

I have written a simple Java class to generate the hash values of the Windows Calculator file. I am using Windows 7 Professional with SP1. I have tried Java 6.0.29 and Java 7.0.03. Can someone tell me why I am getting different hash values from Java versus (many!) external utilities and/or websites? Everything external matches with each other, only Java is returning different results.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import java.util.zip.CRC32;
import java.security.DigestInputStream;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

public class Checksum 
{
    private static int size = 65536;
    private static File calc = new File("C:/Windows/system32/calc.exe");
