Microsoft don't even have a bug tracking system, and filing a bug won't solve
all the existing files anyway.  But thanks for getting this in, it's one less
custom patch for our local branch.


It's true that they're supposed to be multiples of 512 bytes, but if the last
block in the file contains the end of a stream (happens fairly often) and the
stream itself isn't a multiple of 512 bytes (also happens fairly often),
sometimes they just don't pad it out to the 512-byte boundary.  But since the
stream length is declared elsewhere in the file and all the bytes in the stream
are present, it seems silly to even warn about it possibly being truncated as
none of the real data has been lost, only the padding.

If a stream itself is truncated (declared to be longer than the amount of data
available in its blocks) or if a block declared in the file isn't actually
present... that sort of thing is a critical error still, of course.
