Doubling the byte count ensures that all of the<br>> data is read, even if the number of "compressed" bytes is greater than the<br>> number of raw bytes (which occasionally happens).<br>> <br>> Simply removing this isn't sufficient, as there are still cases where it<br>> is needed. This commit should be an effective compromise:<br>> <br>> https://github.com/melissalinkert/bioformats/commit/0144587f34bd5110528152cfcbb2498d381cde00<br><br><br>Thank you very much for the explanation and the bug fix!<br><br>Regards,<br>Matthias<br></body></html>
