You should question anything on Wiki since it is generally unedited.
Don't make the mistake of the fellow posting on sci.crypt who claimed
Dr. Adler's reference implementation of ADLER-32 was wrong because
there was a discrepancy in Wiki. From "Need peer review: May have
found mistake in Adler-32!":
This is going out the Mr. Adler, his friends at zlib, the related
newsgroups comp.compression and sci.crypt, and the newsgroups
sci.math and sci.math.num-analysis... This post relates to suspec
calculations... [1]

See Handbook of Applied Cryptography. All chapters are avialable
online. http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/.
