I believe that the longer data the more chance to get same CRC/hash
for different data sets (if data length > CRC/hash length). Or am I wrong?
Having no crc64 implementation (see below) I decided to use 2 CRC32 instead
of one - it looked better, without any additional cost (record header is
8 byte aligned anyway, on, mmm, most platform).

I've asked if anyone can send crc64 impl to me and got only one from
Nathan Myers. Unfortunately, SWISS-PROT impl assumes that long long
is 8 bytes - is it portable?
