The native CRC32 code, found in {{pipelined_crc32c}}, crashes when blocksize is set to 1.

The Java CRC code works fine in this case.

Choosing blocksize=1 is a __very__ odd choice.  It means that we're storing a 4-byte checksum for every byte.

However, obviously crashing is never the right thing to do.
