I remember "fixing" something because the comparison would go wrong if a
file is not found in the archive and the last element in the archive
(bootblock) was encountered. The 32bit pointer would overrun from
0x100000000 to 0x00000000 so the exit condition would never bite.

I might have introduced something more stupid. Solving all the small
side cases suddenly became somewhat untrivial ;)
