It is ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL for a global header to be stored in
the first packet of the file. This condition is easily testable: if
it's impossible to decode the stream from some point in the middle
without having the first packet, then the storage scheme is illegal.

Maybe you should RTFspec and use some common sense instead of
committing horribly broken code like this... :)
