I think the problem is that dCheckSum is too wide, it should only be 32-bits. Here's the version I used for reference: https://gist.github.com/miek/b6248205b6cfd26c1c6c5d6ac0abdc3d

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    unsigned long ulong;
    unsigned short ushort;
    uint32_t uint32Magic;
    uint16_t uInt16Magic;

    printf("the size of unsigned long %ld\n", sizeof(ulong) );
    printf("the size of unsigned short %ld\n", sizeof(ushort) );
    printf("the size of uint32_t %ld\n", sizeof(uint32Magic) );
    printf("the size of uint16_t %ld\n", sizeof(uInt16Magic) );

    return 0;
}

yields:

the size of unsigned long 8
the size of unsigned short 2
the size of uint32_t 4
the size of uint16_t 2

Lols, so don't I feel silly now. Thanks for your help @miek!
