rounding(-error) cases that would produce different results especially when changing the CPU (intel vs. PowerPC). I found this to be true even for non pseudo-random code that between CPU-types results were different within a given epsilon.
Its all 32 bit words, or rather bits. IIRC, it is based on an irreducible polynomial over Z_2, so all the coefficients are 0 or 1. The original paper is worth a read if you like that sort of stuff. Chuck
