>> In the C reference implementation of CRC-24, the generator is wrong:

Just for the records: The wording "generator is wrong" seems to be a bit
misleading, because the highest degree term of CRC-24-Radix64 polynomial
is x^{24} [1] and the reference implementation takes care of the special
form of the constant. However, as there exists an established
representation for those polynomials [2], the proposed change is at
least of some editorial relevance.
