I see, I thought you had encrypted files too.

Right. I meant I was not sure about the size of MaxMB - if it had been
eg. a 16 bit field, we could reject a lot more. It seems to be an 8 bit
field so given we have a PPM block we can look at two more bits and
reject 3/4.

Do you mean there is more to check in MaxOrder than the reset bit?
