Public bug reported:

Somewhere between 14.04 and 16.04 (probably release 1.51) the crc32
utility started printing extra material when invoked on a single file.

lilith[47]$ crc32 /tmp/foo-F5AF2F94.bin 
f5af2f94        OK
lilith[48]$ /mnt/archive.ro/llc-14.04/usr/bin/crc32 /tmp/foo-F5AF2F94.bin 
f5af2f94

Scripts that have been working for years to confirm that the named and
calculated file CRC32s are consistent break with this change in output.

There is no command-line option to control the new behavior, nor can I
find anywhere its addition was documented.
