Okay, i've reimplemented the code from scratch, based on the RFC, without 
even looking at your code, as a basis for comparison.

The trouble is, i get exactly the same results as you!

Here's mine:

I guess the thing to do is extract the C code from the RFC and compile it, 
verify that it works, then stick loads of print statements in the C and 
the python, to see where the states of the checksum engines diverge.
