which showed me a few files that have a few possible 0xF0 -> 0x90 difference (comparing the hex dumps)... but that's a double bit transition vs the files from the service pack and I don't know if that's the way the files are supposed to be...

Now that's more like it. I wondered how a single bit error was supposed to have remained undetected by any half-decent CRC algorithm. Two in the right spots can cancel, however, depending on the algorithm.
