CRC (Cyclic redundancy check)

CRC Contrôle de redondance cyclique in French which is also CRC Cyclic redundancy check in English

Thanks - that gave me a good chuckle on a Sunday at work :)
agree Tony M : Yes, and the figure given is used rather like a sort of 'checksum' (different technique, but same general idea!)
