2. Re-compile and run ./lz4 -b xxx
3. error: !!! WARNING !!! ../../lz4-r117/programs/ERR005143.sam.32M : Invalid 
Checksum : 2ec15be4 != e4733c08

The way MINMATCH works today does not allow to change it without affecting 
compatibility. 
It is very likely that the decompressed version was corrupted, and consequently 
triggered a checksum error, which is therefore a valid error message.

You can check this hypothesis by compressing / decompressing a file, and 
comparing the result with original.

Thanks. I was using in memory benchmark -b command. That error shows me failed 
in the in memory benchmark. I tried MINMATCH with value 4 which works perfect, 
but not for other values.
