It seems that Adler-32 has bad properties for short sequences of bytes (say up to 128 bytes). See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3309 for a cogent explanation why.
I think that many of the messages stored will be fairly short, or at least there should be no loss of protection for short messages. So I think we should hastily change the checksum algotihm before it gets out into the wild (perhaps to crc-32c like sctp, but this maybe deserves some study).
