The problem with CRC32 algorithms is that there is more than one approved standard out there. cksum even allows for this, if you check out the --man for it.
POSIX.2 either uses a different algorithm or a different polynomial. I'm not sure offhand which algorithm SF6 uses, but I know for a fact that it is a common one.
