Comment (by teor):
Yes, you're right - I didn't quite work through all the cases.
If I had, I might have also wiped whatever we read in (if anything) from
corrupted files in the FN_FILE (file present) error cases. But I think
that worrying about data that *might* be parts of a key, mixed with at
least some garbage, is being a little paranoid.
