Excuse me, but how can you be sure it is the same algorithm?
As far as I can read the sources to zlibmodule.c it uses the
function crc32 defined in zlib.h of the underlying platform.

Now I would almost dare to bet that any sane system uses the
standard algorithm in its zlib, but who can tell?

P.S.: Just being curious: Is there a problem with my arraymodule
      patches for index,count,remove and pop?
