This can probably be changed.
The FIXME comment is yours, I think. The bug is mine, sorry.

And actually I am not sure whether I am correct with loading the whole file 
from the archive into memory. The other archivers seem to decode only the 
required amount.
While my method is easier to implement and faster when reading from the file 
more than once, it also pushes the memory requirements.
Do you think this should be changed?
