Problem now solved as follows:

uint32_t crc32(const void* Ap, const size_t AuLen, uint32_t& /* IO */ 
AuInterimResult)
   { // 2015-07-09-Th
     // for "crc updating" pass AuInterimResult; must be 0 or 0xFFFFFFFF initially
     if (!AuInterimResult) AuInterimResult = 0xFFFFFFFF;
     boost::crc_optimal<32, 0x04C11DB7, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, true, true> 
crc(AuInterimResult);
     crc.process_bytes((const char*) Ap, AuLen);
     AuInterimResult = crc.get_interim_remainder();
     return crc.checksum();
   }
