Ah.  I thought you might have a bad source host.

See Mark Tinguely's post: he found the problem; it's a byte-order
at the tme of calculation problem.

I think you would have to HTONS(), do the checksum recalculation,
and then HTONS() it back (or delay the recalculation untul after
it was naturally HTONS()'ed, if possible).
