don't try to match checksums of two blocks which are of unequal
size. This explains the high false_alarms rate that I saw for one of
the sample data files used in my thesis.

The bug was harmless as the strong checksum easily caught all the
false matches but it's been bugging me as I couldn't explain it :)
