| 6 | Are you emulating all the workarounds for reading previously-written |
| 7 | invalid data in there? Because if not, you're reading what you want VDB |
| 8 | to contain, not what it actually does... |

| 10 | Remember, VDB's format isn't specified anywhere, so if you claim you |
| 11 | can read it, you must be able to read whatever it contains, and you |
| 12 | can't claim that (for example) rogue 'stat' entries in CONTENTS are a |
| 13 | bug. |
