Does the patch break files you create intentionally or files
pre-existing ?
The check can fail if 2 data segments overlap, one can craft
a file with that. The previous patches are implemented differently
and dont have that behavior, you rejected them too and at the time
you did call them "hacky" and did not mention that they break anything
and also ignored all further questions

I just implemented this one differently as the other way was rejected
by you with no comment

Also please provide the files this breaks so the issue can be
fixed

thx
