Why don't you do a Dictionaty<long,list<string>> then ?? It seems that you have hash collisions or identical files. If you have hash collisions, consider using MD5 or SHA-xxx for the checksum..

Is it possible you read a text file (utf8 or utf16) into a string and calls .Length?
Then the length is not the number of bytes, but the number of chars, and there is a difference.

If you read the entire file into a byte array, or you ask FileInfo for the length, should give the same result. If it doesn't you are probably doing something wrong.

if your code is identical to the posted code, files[] does not contain file contents, but filenames. So files[x].Length should return the length of your filename, not the length of the contents.
