send_nsca 64 bit problem

[Ford, Andy]

I'm trying to set up a collector and the nsca daemon on the central server is rejecting my packets:

nsca[10902]: Dropping packet with invalid CRC32 - possibly due to client using wrong password or crypto algorithm?

Obviously, I've triple-checked the password and algorithm settings, so that's not the problem.

I'm suspecting that since the collector is running a 64 bit version of SLES (10.2) and the central server is 32 bit SLES (10.2), that somehow the CRC is being generated differently between the two.

Another bit of evidence pointing to the suspected mismatch is that the collector in question can do send_nsca successfully to another 64 bit system.

Anyone else run into this or can think of a workaround to try?
