I noticed a sporadic test failure when the bsd checksum happened to

Compare these:

$ src/cksum --untagged --algorithm=bsd <<< 2
00035 1
At first I thought I'd strip the excess zeros before comparing,
but thought it slightly better to zero-pad any too-narrow value.
The attached seems to do the job:
Oh nice one.
Merged that into the change and pushed.
thanks!
