Yeah, it's nasty. They had the right idea, and then put a variable length
comment field in the structure at the end, so you have to sort of search
through the bytes, and then verify that what you find is sane.
I'm sort of amazed newer archivers (7zip, rar, etc) didn't see fit to put
64 bits at the end of the file to say where the header should be, at all.
