Option -softcrc gives false CRC on 64bit platforms

[mkuutti]

Binary package hint: dvbsnoop

dvbsnoop -softcrc calculates CRC wrong on 64bit linux (and propably others). This is because u_long is used in src/misc/crc32.[ch] and assumed it to be 32bit. Solution might be use of uint32_t from stdint.h. Dvbsnoop package version 1.4.50-2.

I reported bug to sourceforge's dvbsnoop page and added also patch:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2934925&group_id=85040&atid=574724

Patch was tested in Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and Ubuntu 9.04 i686

Attaching file 'pat.sec' from Finnish DVB-T network for reference:

dvbsnoop -softcrc -if pat.sec // fails under 64bit

Confirmed, that file indeeds fails CRC check on amd64, and the patch attached to the mentioned bug upstream does fix the issue.

This bug was fixed in the package dvbsnoop - 1.4.50-2ubuntu1
