033E46B6 - UAL
18114D1A - AAL

    And for the record it is "not" impossible to have duplicate values. a 
32bit CRC is (obviously) limited to the maximum value of a 32 bit integer 
(just over 4,000,000,000 combinations). It is not only possible to "have" 
duplicates, but it is possible to intentionally create them. These two values 
however do not match.
    With all the publically available CRC routines, I'm surprised you managed 
to find one that gave you these results.
