It works fine. There was a part missing in your
explanation  though. You also have to convert the
hashed password to hex lowercase string before doing
the concat with the token. Here's the whole process:

hash_sha1(password) --> lowercase hex string -->
hashA,
hash_sha1(hashA+token) --> lowercase hex string -->
hash0,
hash_sha1(hash0) --> lowercase hex string --> hash1,
hash_sha1(hash1) --> lowercase hex string --> hash2,
...
hash_sha1(hashN-1) --> lowercase hex string --> hashN,

N of course being the sequence number (I know you know
all that, but it could be usefull to someone else).

Thanks again,

Antoine
