Hi there,

I have a .doc file that is not exiting the inner loop of make_sector_list, leading to an OOM crash. There is some issue with the file itself, as Word gives an error opening it; however, DFVIEW.EXE opens the file and will display all the contained streams without complaining.

Even if the file is bad and can't be read, hopefully there is some condition that can throw an exception rather than OOM.
