This concept is quite interesting

What do you mean by "two equal pages"? Do you only compare both checksums?
I hope that when checksums match, you compare both entire pages too, so
that the checksum is used as a hashcode only.

I wouldn't see a process crash because the checkums were the same and the
pages weren't.
