Well, there are two cases here, a PPM block or a LZ block. The PPM case
would very quickly give you an error if stream is invallid and unpack29
would switch back to the pure LZSS case. Then for Lempel-Ziv it's highly
unlikely that you'd get the same result from rar_decode_number() several
times at a row unless the stream is bad. The key point here being "several"
and that's where my concerns are.
