Section 3.2 says:

      Set L to 0.

      /* Process each 16-word block. */
      For i = 0 to N/16-1 do

         /* Checksum block i. */

It should say:

      Set L to 0.

      /* Process each 16-byte block. */
      For i = 0 to N/16-1 do

         /* Checksum block i. */

Notes:

The comment should note that this section of the algorithm operates on a 16 byte -- rather than 16 word -- block.
