Repeated code

     391      if ($filesz > 1024)
     393        my (@name_list) = compare_by_first_block (1024,
     394                @{$names_by_size{$filesz}});
     448      else
     453        @fc_LoL = compare_by_first_block ($filesz, @{$names_by_size{$filesz}});

I wonder at this separation
It seems to me that the two calls to compare_by_first_block are doing the same thing
What if we cut out the special case, doing something like this:

        @LoL = compare_by_first_block (1024, @{$names_by_size{$filesz}});

        if ($filesz > 1024) {
          # Do the MD5 stuff and other comparisons
        }

First question:
- Will 1024 work with compare_by_first_block() even for short files?
