No, I wasn't using "10" bytes, I was using an arbitrary number of bytes. "10" is not a magic number in this context. > Anyway, the sequence you are showing about, starting at 1916 is the only > one in the file, both when searching forward and backwards, in ghex. > > > And please don't try searching for the text representation on the > > right hand side of the hex view!

(Those four bytes are three magic bytes and one format-number byte.)

I'm assuming Stefan will have a look, but if for some reason he doesn't then I'll have a look at your original mail and see if I mis-advised you regarding what duplication to look for.
