Comment (by ramey):

 > Note also that the reading problem applies to both binary & xml files.
 Only the text version reads correctly in the 1.53 release (with or without
 the patch). Currently working through the clearance procedures at my
 company to see if I can release this data and/or spend the time to create
 a simplified version that duplicates the same issue.

 Note that this whole issue is related to native binary archives.

 If you've got problem which shows up in other archive types as well, that
 it's got to be a different problem. Upside, any xml problem should be easy
 to track down since it's easy to read the archive file.  Also xml archives
 check that the beginning/end tags match and throw an exception when they
 don't.
